The Duchess of Sussex arrived at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening with her husband Prince Harry for the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance. The former actress, who is pregnant with her and Harry's first child, wore a black Stella McCartney coat for the poignant event, which commemorates men and women who have lost their lives in conflicts. Meghan and Harry joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. The Duke of York, The Earl and Countess of Wessex, The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence were also in attendance.

It is the first year that the couple have attended the Festival of Remembrance together as a married couple. On Remembrance Sunday – also the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice - Prince Harry and Meghan will pay their respects at the annual Remembrance Day Service at The Cenotaph. It is likely that Meghan will join the Queen to view the Service from the balcony of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office building. In the evening, the royals will then attend a Service to mark the Centenary of the Armistice at Westminster Abbey.
