Meghan Markle has arrived for her first official event with the Queen today as she joins senior royals at a service marking Commonwealth Day. The event at Westminster Abbey is a public acknowledgement by the Queen of the US actress, who will soon be joining her family when she marries Prince Harry on May 19. The Commonwealth Day service this afternoon is also being attended by the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry and the Prime Minister. Former One Direction band member Liam Payne will perform during the service - but the Duke of Edinburgh, who has effectively retired from public duties, is not attending. In her Commonwealth Day message, which will feature in the service, the Queen has praised the 'Commonwealth connection' that allows people from different nations to bond and celebrate 'diversity'.
