It could be seen as a nod to her first public appearance with Prince Harry in 2017, when Meghan wore the same bracelet to the Invictus Games in Toronto.
Today’s appearance is the couple’s first since returning from their break from royal duties over Christmas.
They disappeared from view with son Archie, now eight months, at the end of November with a spokesman saying they were taking ‘extended family time’ after a year in which both admitted struggling with their royal roles.
It meant that they missed the Queen’s pre-Christmas dinner and the Royal Family’s annual festivities at Sandringham.

It was later revealed that the trio were enjoying all the luxuries on offer at a waterfront mansion in one of the most idyllic spots on Vancouver Island – and are even believed to have taken their two dogs over with them, too.
They were also seen out hiking locally with friends, including actress Abigail Spencer, a friend of former actress Meghan’s from her days on the television drama Suits, with Meghan even offering to take a picture for one stunned couple they met who were struggling with their selfie stick.
They also posted a picture on Instagram of a delighted Harry holding his son, Archie, taken during their holiday to the delight of fans on New Year’s Eve.
