Prince Harry and Meghan,
the Duchess of Sussex, on Tuesday attended their first royal event as newlyweds
— a Buckingham Palace garden party honouring Harry’s father, Prince Charles,
for his many years of charitable work.
The long spell of sunny
weather that gave their Saturday wedding a special glow continued Tuesday at
the outdoor occasion.
More than 6,000 people
involved with charities supported by Charles also attended the party in the
vast palace gardens.
It is the first of many
events to be held in advance of Charles’ 70th birthday in November.
Meghan chose a pale pink
dress by British label Goat for the occasion, worn with a matching saucer-style
hat by milliner Philip Treacy.
Harry spoke in glowing
words about his father’s good deeds — despite being buzzed by a bee that
momentarily threw him off his prepared remarks.
“It is your selfless drive
to affect change, whether that is to improve the lives of those who are on the
wrong path, to save an important piece of our national heritage or to protect a
particular species under threat, which (Prince) William and I draw inspiration
from every day,” he said.
The event marks the first
time Harry and Meghan have been seen in public since an evening reception on
their wedding night.
