It’s the photos people have been
waiting years for: the reunion of Prince William and his younger
brother
Prince Harry, along with their wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan
Markle.
After the Duke and Duchess of
Sussex announced their shock exit from both the UK and their
positions as senior working members of the royal family in early
2020, reports of a rift between the California-located couple and
the rest of the royals have been a constant in the news
headlines.(The family drama
wasn’t helped by the distance enforced by the pandemic, which
halted all international travel, nor that tell-all Oprah
interview).
But finally, the family has
reunited in the UK to celebrate the
Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, marking her unprecedented 70 years on
the throne. For the occasion, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made
their first trip back to the country with their two children in
tow, 3-year-old Archie Harrison and his little sister, Lilibet
Diana, who turns 1 on Saturday.
Though the first royal event took
place
yesterday for Trooping the Colour, during which the royals
watch planes fly overhead from a balcony (Prince
Louis’ expressions were hilariously cute), it was announced
ahead of time that only senior working members of the family would
be invited to stand alongside the Queen. See also: No, Harry and
Meghan weren’t cool to come along.
On Friday morning, however, the
couple were finally invited alongside the rest of the royal family,
to attend the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral in
London, marking the first time they’ve attended an official royal
event in over two years — and the first time the public has seen
the former foursome interact since everything went down.
For the highly publicized event, Markle opted for a Dior Haute
Couture Spring-Summer 2022 classic and chic white trench coat,
organza shirt and skirt, which she wore with a matching white
wide-brimmed Dior hat designed by Stephen Jones, Dior gloves and
pumps.

Markle wore her hair pulled back off her face and kept her
beauty look fresh and minimal.
Kate Middleton and Prince William arrived together with the
Duchess of Cambridge wearing a pale yellow dress by one of her
go-to designers, Emilia Wickstead, and a matching hat, which she
wore with her hair in a bun and complimented with beige pumps.

Inside the church, early photos seem to suggest the couples are
seated separately — Harry and Meghan are in the second row inside,
next to Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, while William and Kate and
in the first row, beside Princess Anne — which means unfortunately
there are not yet any images of the foursome interacting:

Here’s hoping we get an iconic image of the reunion upon service
ending.
