Meghan Markle makes royal history by speaking at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the Commonwealth Youth Forum which took place in London on Wednesday. The couple met young delegates from all across Britain's Commonwealth Countries.
Since the couple announced their engagement last November they have been seen together at many events. However, this particular outing was the outing that made history. As reported by Vanity Fair, Meghan's attendance at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting is unheard of in royal history.
Usually, royal fiances never take part in this particular week but Meghan has been asked to participate in many royal engagements and frequently. This is a clear indication that she has been widely accepted by the family.
Earlier this month, Harry and Meghan attended the UK trials for the Invictus Games while wearing matching black polo shirts. In his speech for the Commonwealth meeting, Harry inevitably spoke of Meghan and her passion for philanthropy.
"I am also incredibly grateful that the woman I am about to marry, Meghan, will be joining me in this work, of which she too is hugely excited to take part in," he said.
Meghan and Harry's next public engagement is just around the corner. The couple has revealed plans to attend services commemorating Anzac Day in London on April 25. In addition to this, Harry is also believed to be attending the Wreath Laying Ceremony and Parade at the Cenotaph.
Harry will lay a wreath on behalf of her Majesty The Queen. The parade is said to have over 300 to 400 participants who will take part in the parade. The participants include members of veterans’ associations, service and ex-service personnel and their families. After the parade, Harry will go on to join his Meghan at the Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.
