The Duchess of Sussex is giving a speech to nearly 200 young leaders from around the world in her first UK public appearance since the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Prince Harry is also in attendance as Meghan gives the keynote address at the opening ceremony of the One Young World summit in Manchester.
Before the duchess’ speech, Harry and Meghan were sat centre stage on a bench together as they watched bearers carry the flags of more than 200 countries.
Meghan, with her hair in a sleek ponytail, sat with her legs crossed and swayed in time to a rendition of Dancing In The Streets as she clapped her hands.
Reports suggest Harry and Meghan arrived in Britain on Saturday, but a spokeswoman for the couple declined to confirm their arrival.
The couple, who stepped back as senior working royals in 2020, were pictured walking into a side entrance of London Euston station on Monday as they took the train up to Manchester for the summit.
They were reportedly driven the 27 miles from their UK base at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to Euston in a hybrid electric Range Rover.

Their UK trip comes just days after Meghan’s wide-ranging interview with The Cut magazine, in which she said she had “really made an active effort to forgive” both her in-laws and members of her own family after stepping back from royal duties.
She added that she is “still healing” from the ordeal.
The former Suits actress also said that “just by existing” she and Harry were “upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy” before they stepped down as senior working royals.
Meanwhile, in the latest episode of her Archetypes podcast, Meghan said her life only became more focused on her race after she started dating Prince Harry.
