Meghan Markle attends her first Royal Air Force Ceremony with Harry, Will, and Kate
Queen Elizabeth is not the only member of the royal family staying busy as Meghan Markle joins Will, Kate, and Harry at the RAF Centenary.
Our favorite royal foursome continues to stay busy, this time taking part in the Royal Air Force Centenary on July 10. Just one day after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry joined Prince William and Kate Middleton at their son Louis’ christening, the Fab Four as we love to call them reunited for another royal outing.
Members of the royal family attended a special service held at Westminster Abbey on July 10 that honored the 100 year anniversary of the Royal Air Force. The RAF was the very first “independent air force” in the world, after it broke away from both the Royal Navy and the British Army on April 1, 1918.
In honor of the occasion, both Prince William and Prince Harry wore their RAF uniforms. According to E! News, the Duke of Cambridge even “wore his wings” which are a symbol of his status as an RAF certified pilot. The Duke of Sussex on the other hand, had shoulder flashes on to mark his own role as the “Honorary Air Commandant of the RAF Regiment base” for RAF Honington.

Meghan Markle wore a black Dior dress that reminded some of her wedding dress with its neckline. Kate Middleton went with a lighter ensemble, wearing a light blue coat dress from McQueen.
As this was a daytime royal event, both women also wore coordinating fascinators that accented their choice of outfits. As she entered the church, Markle could be seen holding onto her husband’s arm affectionately.
Of course, the fabulous foursome were not the only members of the royal family in attendance at the RAF Centenary. Queen Elizabeth attended the service, as well as Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.
Though Meghan Markle is new to the royal family and these events, she seems to be settling in quite well. Following the service itself at Westminster Abbey, the royal family then took their place on the balcony at Buckingham Palace. There, they had the chance to watch the Presentation of the Colours. This was also Meghan Markle’s first opportunity to actually stand right next to the queen on the balcony, although this isn’t her first time on the balcony with the rest of the royal family.
