Meghan Markle, Prince Harry reunite with Prince William, Kate Middleton

Harry and Meghan have finally reunited with William and Kate at their first official event since the Sussexes sensationally quit the royal family.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry beamed as they arrived at St Paul’s Cathedral for a special service of thanksgiving to mark the Queen’s momentous 70-year reign on Friday UK time.

The “nervous” Sussexes have joined William, Kate and other royals for their first official event since Megxit on day two of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The monarch herself was not in attendance after experiencing “discomfort” during yesterday’s festivities.

But most other members of the Firm – minus Andrew who has Covid – have gathered in London for the occasion.

Meghan smiled at the crowds outside the cathedral moments before Kate walked up the steps and waved.

The royals then took their seats inside the building, with the Sussexes in the second row of the congregation next to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Neither Harry nor Meghan are in the royal procession, which appears to be limited to working family members.

Despite being welcomed back into the royal fold at Trooping the Colour yesterday, Meghan, 40, and Harry, 37, were said to be anxious about today’s public reunion.

A source told The Mirror they were “perhaps understandably nervous” about coming face-to-face with those they had slated in an interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.

And the pressure is doubled by the fact this is their first outing together with the entire family since they quit the Firm in 2020.

The couple opted not to bring their children Archie, three, and Lilibet, who turns one tomorrow, whom Her Majesty is believed to have met for the first time yesterday.

Their attendance at other events, including tomorrow’s Party at the Palace or the Pageant on Sunday, is also uncertain.

A royal commentator said the couple hope to be as “low-profile as possible” during their visit to the UK.

Omid Scobie, author of the book Finding Freedom which focused on Harry and Meghan, told the BBC Breakfast program: “I spoke with people close to the couple who said that they want to be as low-profile as possible during this trip.

“It’s almost hard to believe, but I think yesterday [at] Trooping the Colour was a great example.

“We didn’t really catch sight of them on TV cameras.”

And Piers Morgan thinks their low-key appearances are for good reason as “there is already a lot of tension” behind the scenes, which only worsen during today’s service where Her Majesty will be absent.

Morgan told Sky News Australia: “The only glue it seems in this whole tension is the Queen and she’s not going to be there.

“So we’re going to have a bit of a drama in a church where there aren’t many of them and the ones who are going to be there don’t get on.”

The apparent unease means Harry has made no plans to see his brother William or wife Kate away from the formal Jubilee festivities, an insider has claimed.

They told Page Six: “At the moment, it does not look likely that Harry and Meghan and William and Kate will meet up separately during the Jubilee celebrations.

“There is certainly nothing in the diary.”
