While Harry and Meghan watched the procession from indoors, they were not seen on the iconic balcony at Buckingham Palace. They had a prime vantage point with members of the monarchy from the Duke of Wellington's former office, overlooking Horse Guards Parade, as they watched Prince Charles inspect the guardsmen and officers and take their salute.
Meghan looked incredible wearing a sleek bodycon dress complete with an off-the-shoulder neckline and wrap detailing. The stunning frock, which came in a stylish navy hue, featured capped sleeves and a chic midi length.
