Meghan Markle to attend Trooping the Colour in first outing since Archie's birth

Meghan Markle will attend Trooping the Colour this weekend in her first public engagement since giving birth, according to reports.

But she will not be accompanied by baby Archie.

CNN says the Duchess will join the rest of the royals on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the Queen's official birthday celebreations.

Meghan hasn't been seen in public since Archie was born on May 6.

She briefly spoke at a photo opportunity several days later when her newborn son was unveiled to the world.

Since then the new mum has been bonding with her bundle of joy in Windsor's Frogmore Cottage, the home she shares with Prince Harry, away from prying eyes.

Trooping the Colour sees 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians parade to mark the sovereign's official birthday.

It's a tradition dating back 260 years.

The royal family website says: "The streets are lined with crowds waving flags as the parade moves from Buckingham Palace and down The Mall to Horse Guard's Parade, alongside Members of the Royal Family on horseback and in carriages.

"The display closes with an RAF fly-past, watched by members of the royal family from Buckingham Palace balcony."
