PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle stunned the world with their beautiful wedding photographs, and now they’ve been pictured at their first public appearance as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Harry and his new wife Meghan attended Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, and the newlyweds were radiant.
The pair looked like they were enjoying their first week as husband and wife, with Meghan touching Harry’s back as they walked up the stairs of Buckingham Palace.
After their wedding on Saturday, the royal couple took a serious photo with the royal family, before taking some more candid, informal ones together with their bridesmaids and pageboys — where they are more relaxed, almost laughing as they posed for the camera.
Then there was one of just the two of them in black and white, showing a softer side to both of them.
The photos are less formal than Kate and Wills’ photo they took for their official wedding portrait and appear to break royal protocol. It emerges just days after the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex had a wedding unlike any other.
The stunning bride wore Givenchy in front of an A-list crowd, while the new Duke wore a military uniform made of blue doeskin paired with a white buckskin belt.
And their reception attire was no less dashing. Meghan Markle showed off an elegant Stella McCartney halter-neck gown, teamed with an aquamarine cocktail ring, while Prince Harry donned a smart suit.
The huge rock held special significance for Harry, as it belonged to his mother, Princess Diana.

George and Amal Clooney, Victoria and David Beckham, tennis star Serena Williams, and American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey watched on as the former Suits star, 36, tied the knot with Prince Harry, 33, the sixth-in-line to the British throne.
The Beckhams were seen chatting with Elton John as they waited for the ceremony to start, while two of Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriends, Cressida Bonas and Chelsea Davy were also there.
Ms Markle’s former co-stars from Suits joined the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla, and the Duchess of Cambridge inside the chapel, where Prince William served as Harry’s best man.
