Meanwhile, to celebrate the International Women's Day, Queen Elizabeth attended a mass on Sunday. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle surprisingly accompanied the Queen, and no one expected it to happen.
The Sussexes were all smiles as they attended the church service at The Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor, which is close to the sussexes' Frogmore Cottage home. Although Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to step back from their royal duties at the end of the month, they remain to be in good terms with Queen Elizabeth. They are now in the U.K. to finish the last stretch of their royal duties before they return to Canada.
According to HOLA! Queen Elizabeth invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to join her for the Sunday morning mass. It was said to be the royal couple's second appearance for the weekend.
A lot of photographers captured the unexpected arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the church. Everyone was stunned by their pleasing appearance, wearing matching monochromatic outfits.
Meghan Markle donned a classy black dress with white trim around the neckline. She completed her look with simple shoes, delicate drop earrings, and a fascinator that let her hair cascade from the underneath. Prince Harry, on the other hand, wore a simple black suit, paired with a red and black tie and white shirt. Queen Elizabeth stayed true to her fashion by wearing her usual colorful coat with a matching hat.
