In the photographs, Meghan jokes and plays with some of the royal children—Mike and Zara Tindell's kids Mia and Lena, and Peter Phillips' daughters Savannah and Isla—as they watch the Trooping the Colour parade. Royal watchers weren't expecting to see Meghan and Harry Thursday morning during Trooping the Colour—it had been firmly established that the couple would not pose for the traditional royal family balcony photo op, given their current status as non-senior members—but eagle-eyed onlookers spotted the couple watching the parade from the Major General's Office alongside other members of the royal family. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's return to the U.K. for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee is a big deal: It's the first time the royal couple have attended a major royal event since their sensational departure from the senior royal family—and subsequent move to Montecito, California—in 2020.

For Her first royal event since stepping back from her senior role within the family, Meghan Markle didn't skimp on style. Here are photos of her gorgeous ...

It's been a little more than two years since Meghan Markle made her final public appearance as a working royal at the Commonwealth Day Service in March 2020. For that occasion, she looked lovely in a navy dress by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy, which she paired with a matching hat by Noel Stewart and her newly redesigned engagement ring. So that's why the Cambridges were featured in that moment, but not the Sussexes.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended Trooping the Colour to celebrate the Queen's birthday, but didn't join royals on Buckingham Palace's balcony.

Though they weren't seen during the event, it marked the first time Markle and Harry have attended a royal event as a family with their children Archie, 3, and Lilibet, who is due to turn 1 year old on Saturday. A spokesperson for the Sussexes told Insider that the Queen will meet Lili, who is named after the monarch, for the first time, and see Archie for the first time since 2020. Working royals in attendance on the balcony included Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, and Princess Alexandra. Also in attendance on the balcony were the Cambridge children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — and the Wessex children — Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn. Also in view was Princess Anne's husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, who the Queen was happy to receive "as a frequent attendee and support to the Princess Royal on official engagements," a royal source told Town and Country.

Meghan Markle first wore the dress in her signature shade on the eve of her Windsor Castle wedding to Prince Harry.

Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in January 2020 and have since moved to Montecito. Meghan's off-the-shoulder navy outfit appears to be the same dress by Roland Mouret that she wore on the night before her royal wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018. She added a delicate pair of drop earrings and gold rings, as seen in closeup photos with Zara Tindall's kids Mia, 8, and Lena, 3, and Peter Phillips' daughter Savannah, 11.

Fans have praised Meghan Markle for playing a shush game with a few royal children, while in London for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan kept a low profile Thursday after jetting in to attend celebrations for Queen Elizabeth's 70th year on the throne.

Harry also claimed his father and brother felt "trapped" by the conventions of royal life. The couple, who married in 2018 and were hailed as the modern face of the monarchy, gave up frontline royal duties and left the UK to live in California in March 2020 in a move dubbed "Megxit". The queen elected to only have "working royals" on the balcony, excluding Harry, Meghan and Andrew. The Sun wrote that Harry and Meghan "took a backseat" at the event.

When I go back, the focus is my family [Meghan, Lili, and Archie], who I miss massively. There was no photographed reunion between Meghan, Harry, Kate, and William. The couples were seated away from each other—and far enough that they couldn't talk to each other during service. Harry hedged, saying, “Look, I mean—for me, at the moment, I'm here, focused on these guys [Invictus Games competitors] and these families and giving everything I can, 120 percent, to them to make sure they have the experience of a lifetime. He notably dodged a question about Charles and William.
