The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at Canada House to celebrate the diverse community of young Canadians living in the capital and around the UK as part of Commonwealth Day
A heavily-pregnant Meghan Markle looked gorgeous in green as she stepped out with husband Prince Harry at an youth event to mark Commonwealth Day.
The pair beamed as they were welcomed by throngs of fans gathered with flags outside Canada House in Pall Mall, London.
Meghan, 37, covered up in a custom green wool embellished coat and matching dress by Canadian and Turkish fashion designer Erdem, in a nod to her hosts.
She teamed it with towering black Aquazzura Deneuve bow heels, which she has worn on a number of occasions and cost around £570, a £1,530 black satin Givenchy clutch, and yellow gold and opal earrings.
The event is set to showcase and celebrate the diverse community of young Canadians living in the capital and around the UK.
The couple were welcomed by Canada’s High Commissioner to the UK Janice Charette, and signed a visitors’ book in the lobby of the building overlooking Trafalgar Square to mark the start of their visit.
Meghan was pictured affectionately putting her hand on Harry’s back to guide him inside.
During their visit, Their Royal Highnesses had the opportunity to talk to groups of young Canadians from a wide range of sectors including fashion, the arts, business and academia, about their experiences as expats as well as opportunities for young people working in the Commonwealth.
The VIP visitors also met young people who demonstrated a Canadian spring tradition of making maple taffy (maple syrup cooled on snow to make sweets) as part of a traditional ‘Cabane à sucre’ or a ‘Sugar Shack’.
The pair got stuck in helping too.
Before departing, they will attend a short reception and watch a musical performance. The High Commissioner, H.E. Ms Janice Charette, will also deliver short remarks.
The UK is home to a dynamic and vibrant community of expat Canadians. Up to 500,000 Canadians currently live in the UK, a figure that reflects the strong, historic and enduring bond between the two countries.
