No sign of nerves as Meghan Markle steps up her royal role

Having attended five royal engagements in the past week, Prince Harry's fiancée Meghan Markle is certainly getting a crash course in royal duties! And there was no sign of nerves as as the former Suits actress stepped up her royal role at the memorial service to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the murder of Stephen Lawrence, taking her place in the pews next to British Prime Minister Theresa May.

The royal couple joined the PM as well as Stephen's mother Doreen Lawrence, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and other dignitaries to celebrate the life and legacy of the late teen, who was brutally stabbed to death in a racially-motivated attack in 1993.

Harry and Meghan – who became an aunt-to-be and uncle to Prince William and Kate's third baby that morning – met with Stephen's mother Baroness Lawrence and her son, Stuart, at the entrance of St Martin-in-the-fields church in Westminster. Inside, Prince Harry was one of the speakers at the moving tribute, reading a message of support on behalf of his father, Prince Charles.
