Soon to be Royal Highness Meghan Markle attended her first
official event along with the Queen on Monday. She attended a service to make
Commonwealth Day along with fiancé Prince Harry and other senior
royals at Westminster Abbey.
Commonwealth Day is an annual event which celebrates the 53
Commonwealth countries. Former one direction star Liam Payne presented music
this year at the event.
The event was graced by Prince Charles, the Duchess of
Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prime Minister Theresa May.
The Duke of Edinburgh, who retired from public service last
year, did not attend the service.
A fampous news portal quoted the Queen say, "Through
exchanging ideas, and seeing life from other perspectives, we grow in
understanding and work more collaboratively towards a common future. There is a
very special value in the insights we gain through the Commonwealth connection;
shared inheritances help us overcome difference so that diversity is a cause
for celebration rather than division."
The service was held ahead of the 24th Commonwealth Heads of
the Government Meeting which will be held in April in London.
In the meantime, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be
tying the knot at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.
