As as dawn broke, Meghan accompanied Harry to a service at Wellington Arch to remember the fallen.

Later, the pair joined the Duke of Cambridge – who has just become a father for the third time – at a memorial service for fallen war heroes at Westminster Abbey.

The duke welcomed his soon-to-be sister-in-law with a kiss on the cheek as she arrived with Harry for the annual Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving

The service was to commemorate Anzac Day – the anniversary of the start of the First World War Gallipoli landings and Meghan looked sombre in an all-black outfit for the moving occasion.

The American actress was believed to be wearing a custom version of a design from Emilia Wickstead’s spring 2014 collection.
