Today, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined other members of the Royal Family for the annual Commonwealth Day Service.
Today marked The Duchesses second year attending. The annual service is the largest annual inter-faith gathering in the United Kingdom. The Commonwealth represents a global network of 53 countries and almost 2.4 billion people, of whom 60 per cent are under 30 years old.
The Queen has reinforced links and seen the association of nations grow from seven to fifty-three members throughout her 67 year reign as Head of the Commonwealth.

Among the attendees was Clean Bandit, an English electronic band. They performed their Number 1 hit ‘Symphony’ today.

The Dhol Foundation preformed a drummers wheel as guests arrived. A dhol is a double-headed drum widely used throughout the Indian subcontinent. The type of dhol used here is North Indian.
The reflection at the event was this year given by Lewis Pugh, United Nations Patron of the Oceans. Lewis has worked to raise awareness of the vulnerability of the earth’s ecosystems and campaigned for their protection.
For her second engagement of the day, Meghan wore a Victoria Beckham coat and dress. Her coat is unidentified, but her dress is the Printed Crepe Long Sleeve Dress. The £1,668 piece is described: ''Become a member of the chain-link gang with Victoria Beckham's crepe dress. Detailed with a scarf-effect collar, it has a blousy bodice is cinched in at the waist to reveal a flowy midi-length hem. We recommend keeping styling simple, tossle your hair up in a bun to show off that open back.'' Victoria Beckham is a favorite of Meghan's, I'm not surprised considering how modern her pieces are.
Her pumps are a custom green version of the Victoria Beckham Satin Pumps. They are available in yellow, pink and orange and make a perfect addition to spring/summer wardrobes considering their colour. They feature a sleek almond toe and a slim 115m stiletto heel that creates the illusion of longer legs.
The Duchesses pillbox hat gives serious Jackie O vibes, however I'm not the biggest fan of it. Of course everyone has different styles of hat they favor, pillbox isn't a favorite of mine. The designer is yet to be confirmed.
She accessorised with some Dean Davidson 'Midi Knockout' Earrings, described as: '' A smaller version of our bestselling Knockout Studs, these effortless medium sized studs are adorned with a radiant hand cut and hand polished gemstone. The timeless design makes a stylish impact which can easily go from day to night.''
And finished off her outfit with her diamond tennis bracelet, a gift from Prince Charles.
This morning, Harry and Meghan attended an event at Canada House. You can view her outfit details here.
Happy Commonwealth Day!
