Meghan Markle Makes Stunning Return to the UK in Victoria Beckham Midi Dress

The Duchess of Sussex has made her first official appearance since returning to the UK as she and Prince Harry perform their final royal duties ahead of stepping down on March 31.

Tonight, Meghan Markle joined Prince Harry at the annual Endeavour Fund Awards – and despite the pouring rain, Meghan looked radiant in a blue midi dress by Victoria Beckham. She paired the piece with her go-to suede heels from Manolo Blahnik and a navy clutch from Stella McCartney. Her hair was swept back into a centre-parted ponytail with a slight wave which she complemented with a soft smokey eye and a deep tinted lip – no doubt the work of makeup artist Daniel Martin.

The Duchess of Sussex looked relaxed for her first outing since leaving the UK for Canada earlier this year. So too did Harry , who opted for a navy suit for the occasion.

Tonight marks the first joint engagement for the pair in a very busy schedule across the next four days. Over the weekend, they’ll attend the Mountbatten Festival of Music and then the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on Monday with the Queen and other members of the royal family. It it also expected that Meghan will make an appearance at an as-yet unidentified International Women’s Day event on Sunday.

The outing follows yesterday’s news that as of the end of the month, Canada will no longer provide security for the pair as confirmed by the government.
