It was their first appearance as a couple since they announced they would step back from royal life but one onlooker attempted to spoil it.
Tonight the Duchess of Sussex made her first public appearance in the UK since she and her husband Prince Harry announced they were stepping down as senior working royals .
The couple put on a confident display as they arrived in pouring rain at the annual Endeavour Fund Awards at London’s Mansion House, smiling broadly as they stepped out of their official car.
But amid the cheers there was one loud boo from an onlooker.
They were there to honour the achievements of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women who have taken part in remarkable sporting and adventure challenges over the last year.
All eyes were on Meghan, 38, who has not been seen in this country since she and Harry made the dramatic announcement that they were quitting public life in early January, much to the distress of the Queen.
She upped the glamour stakes in heavy make up and a form fitting turquoise dress with blue suede heels and gold earring. Her hair was tied back in a pony tail. Staff would not reveal details of her outfit as is custom with other senior royals.
Harry, who has been made to give up his official patronages after deciding to move to Canada, is being allowed to retain his private links with organisations such as The Endeavour Fund, of which he is patron.
The charity supports service personnel keen to use challenges to help with their physical, psychological and social recovery and rehabilitation.
The annual awards, now in their fourth year, brings together hundreds of wounded, injured and sick serving personnel and veterans as well as their families, friends and supporters of the military community.
At a reception with backers, nominees and their families, Harry and Meghan chatted to Claire Spencer, 52, whose husband, Lee ‘Frank’ Spencer was nominated for an award.
She complimented Meghan on his amazing she looked given that she had just had a baby.
