Meghan Markle has been seen for the first time since it was confirmed her and Prince Harry's children will be known as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
She was seen enjoying a brunch with friends to mark International Women's Day just hours after she and Harry released a statement confirming Lilibet had been christened, in which they referred to her as a princess.
Buckingham Palace has since confirmed the change, which also applies to Archie, and is in line with royal protocol following the Queen's death and King Charles taking the throne.
Smiling Meghan, dressed in all-black, wearing dark sunglasses, white slip-on shoes and a black and white handbag, was seen leaving the Gracias Madre restaurant in West Hollywood.
As she left the venue, she was greeted by waiting photographers, who wished her a happy International Women's Day and before she got into her waiting car she told them: "Have a good day guys - thank you so much."
Gracias Madre, on the famous Melrose Avenue, is a restaurant known for its vegan and organic dishes as well as stocking 93 different types of tequila.
On the Archewell Foundation website, it was confirmed that Meghan yesterday visited the charity Harvest Home, an organisation that helps provide housing and mental well-being support to expectant mothers who have faced challenges including domestic violence, substance use and homelessness.
Meghan and the organisation created a pop up baby boutique and hosted a lunch and made a donation to the charity.
A statement on the Archewell website read: "Happy International Women’s day to all of you! Whether donating your time, funds, or helping a woman in your community, let’s all celebrate the women in our lives today and every day!"
Earlier today, the royal family's official website was updated to reflect Harry and Meghan's children’s new titles, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Harry and Meghan’s youngsters became a prince and princess on the accession of their grandfather the King six months ago, but the Sussexes publicly used Lili's title for the first time on Wednesday when announcing their daughter’s christening.
Archie and Lili are now listed on royal.uk's line of succession page as Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.
Previously they were Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. The siblings are sixth and seventh in line to the throne, having already moved up a place each after the death of the late Queen.
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said the decision to use the titles had been "settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace".
"The children’s titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch.
"This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace," the spokesperson said.
Lilibet, who is 21 months old, was christened in an intimate ceremony at the Sussexes’ family home in California on Friday, watched by her grandmother Doria Ragland and celebrity godfather Tyler Perry.
The King, the Queen Consort and the Prince and Princess of Wales were reportedly invited but did not attend.
The "alignment" on the titles has given rise to suggestions Harry and Meghan will attend the King’s coronation in May, which also falls on Archie’s fourth birthday.
