Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s big return to the UK has been marred after the increasingly controversial couple were publicly booed.
WATCH: Meghan steps out with Harry for first time since UK return
The couple returned to the spotlight at the Endeavour Fund Awards at London’s Mansion House, and while they were all smiles upon arrival, one person was determined to put an end to that.
While the pair were greeted with some cheers as they alighted from their car, the warm greeting was marred when a man was heard to loudly boo the couple, leading to an ugly and awkward moment. That is, until one devoted admirer struck back by immediately yelling out, ‘We love you!’.
Meghan looked sensational in blue in her first public appearance since the couple made clear their desire to end their public duties as part of the senior royal family back in January.
The move is reported to have caused some distress to the Queen, with further allegations of disrespect towards Her Majesty alienating some former fans of the couple.
But the night mostly went well for Meghan, who earned raves for her form fitting turquoise dress which showed of her fit and trim figure.
The event, which pays tribute to veterans and active service members, is one that is very close to Harry’s heart, given that he spearheaded the creation of the Invictus Games.
The 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto was also the first time Harry and Meghan stepped out together as a couple.
Harry and Meghan’s attendance at the Endeavour Fund Awards marks the first of several key engagements they will attend over the coming days, as they complete their final duties.
They will wrap up their commitments on Monday, when they join the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton at a service marking Commonwealth Day in London.
