Photographs have emerged of Prince Harry and Meghan at a secret Kensington Palace dinner – the evening before Prince Charles’ 70th birthday bash.
The Duchess of Sussex, 37, wowed in a chic black dress featuring her trademark bateau neckline at the event for non-profit organisation African Parks on Tuesday night.
She finished off her look with gold leaf earrings by Pippa Small, priced at £3,175, which she wore on the royal tour in Fiji, along with a £625 suede clutch bag by Gucci, first seen at a Commonwealth reception earlier this year.
Wearing her hair in an elegant up-do, Meghan – who is expecting her first child in the Spring – showed off her glowing complexion at the event.
