After a three-day trip to Ireland (opens in new tab), Prince William and Kate Middleton joined the rest of the Royal Family for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey. They arrived separately from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and unlike last year, when everyone arrived and waited for the Queen before passing through Westminster Abbey, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were escorted directly to their seats. This was the first time the group had been seen together in public, and they were well aware of this fact. They all appeared to be on their best behavior for the Queen.

For the occasion, Kate wore a bright red coat (opens in new tab), the same one she wore to the 2018 Christmas service at Sandringham. Prince William wore a classic navy suit, but his burgundy tie was a nice nod to his wife. The Duchess of Cambridge's look was similar to Meghan's own bold monochrome look, which was bright green.

When Meghan and Prince Harry leave the royal family (step down from active royalty) on March 31, Kate and Prince William will continue their duties as the head and face of the monarchy.
