Meghan Markle Steps Out in First Royal Appearance Since Archie’s Birth
It was a big weekend for the royal family as they showed up for the annual Trooping the Colour festivities. While Queen Elizabeth II's birthday falls on April 21, the day's parade is the public celebration of the occasion.
Meghan Markle has been on maternity leave since welcoming her first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6. This was her first public outing since giving birth, although she and husband Harry did make a press appearance on May 8 introducing the newborn.
Meghan and Harry, along with Camilla Parker Bowles and Kate Middleton all rode in a horse-drawn carriage on Saturday and waved at the crowd. Meghan wore leather gloves, a hat, and a navy ensemble which was reportedly Givenchy, a favorite designer of the Duchess of Sussex.
The royal family, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, posed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace following the parade. Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, turns 98 on June 10!

Meghan has taken part in Trooping the Colour festivities before, as she attended for the first time last year. Perhaps next year little Archie will be old enough to join mom and dad for the special celebration!
