Meghan Markle attended her first
Remembrance Day ceremony today as an official member of the
Royal Family, but as she watched her husband the
Duke of Sussex Prince Harry lay down a wreath from a nearby balcony, the pregnant Duchess’ baby bump could not be seen.
Meghan Markle, 37, marked Armistice Day 2018 along with other members of the Royal Family this morning.
It was her first time joining the Queen, 92, the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, 71, and the
Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, 36, watching the Whitehall Cenotaph service from a nearby balcony.
The Duchess of Sussex is currently pregnant with her first child, but while her baby bump was clearly visible during her recent Australasia tour, it was out of sight during today’s Remembrance Day event.
The former actress, like the rest of the female members of the royal family up on the balcony, could only been seen from the waist up.
In keeping with the traditional black dress the royal family wear when mourning, paying respects on Remembrance Day, Meghan appeared to be wearing a wool black coat.
The coat was collarless and looked to have a cap sleeve design.
It was fastened together with one large back button at the top, and a large red poppy was pinned to her left breast.
A small black hat was propped on the right-hand side of Meghan’s head, and small silver stud earrings were spotted in her ears.
The Duchess completed the look with nude-coloured lipgloss, plenty of blusher, and wore her hair in a neat chignon at the nape of her neck - a style Kate often opts for when wearing a hat.
While Meghan was stood on one balcony, the Queen, Camilla and Kate could be seen on another.
The Queen wore a thick black coat with silver and black buttons up the front, and a silver brooch next to her many poppies.
Camilla wire a black zip-up coat with structured shoulders, a V-neck, and a single pin stripe on the front.
Kate wore a military-style black coat, which featured a white collar, epaulettes and silver buttons.
While it was Meghan’s first time standing on the balcony to watch the Whitehall ceremony, it was not the first Remembrance Day event she’d attended as a member of the Royal Family.
Last night, the expectant mother attended the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.
The Queen and members of the Royal Family were also in attended to commemorate all those who have lost their lives in conflicts, and to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War.
Meghan wrapped her bump in a black Stella McCartney coat, which tied together at the front with a black Satin bow.
The Duchess matched her coat with a pair of black Manolo Blahnik Heels.
But the coat was actually one Meghan had worn before - she spotted wearing it when she visited Cardiff in Wales with Prince Harry back in January 2018.
A Remembrance Day event also took place in Paris this morning, with many world leaders in attendance.
