Prince Harry and Meghan Markle commonwealth day
Oh Canada! Meghan Markle and Prince Harry honored her pre-royal roots. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex celebrated Commonwealth Day on Monday, March 11, at the Canada House in London. Meghan, who is expecting her first child next month, held the event close to her heart.
Prior to marrying the Prince, the Duchess lived in Toronto for six-years while she starred on the USA series Suits. The royal pair stepped out in style with smiles as they met with children and other residents from Canada – to celebrate the diverse community of young Canadians living in the U.K.
Things got sweet for the pair, who joined a group of students as they made taffy with maple syrup (and snow). The parents-to-be also spoke with young Canadians who do work in fashion, arts and business. Scroll through to see more of the big moments from Harry and Meghan’s day out!
