The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle skipped jetting off on a honeymoon immediately, and made they first official public appearance.

Arriving for Prince Charles' 70th birthday celebrations, a garden party at the Buckingham Palace, the Duchess, Meghan Markle was a stunning and sophisticated image.

Amidst 6000 guests, Meghan, who opted for a bespoke Givenchy wedding gown, opted for a chic Goat 'Flavia' dress, a ladylike number with sheer sleeves in a pale rose hue.

The label Goat is the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's go-to label, and Meghan certainly seemed to take a leaf out of her sister-in-law's book.

Styled with a Wilbur & Gussie bag and a Philip Treacy hat, the Duchess was all smiles and radiant, with the wedding glow on.

She also wore her diamond engagement ring , a delicate bracelet and diamond studs in her ears, and kept her makeup minimal and glowing with her hair tied up in a neat bun.

Meghan Markle would be addressed as her HRH for the first time at the official engagement, and people are also expected to curtsey to her and refer to her as ma'am.

The limelight was all on the newly married couple who were also joined by the Duchess of Cornwall, while Prince William was in Manchester and Kate Middleton on maternity leave.
