The 35-year-old looked stunning in a navy blue dress with an asymmetric hem, chic white jacket and ankle-tie stilettos.
A source close to Harry said: 'Dyer's opinion is important to Harry. Mark adored Harry's former girlfriends Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy – but he really likes Meghan. They have been getting on like a house on fire.'
The event is a regular on Harry's calendar. This year it was raising funds for two of the charities he champions, Sentebale and WellChild.
