Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are due to make their final public appearance as working members of the Royal Family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will join Queen Elizabeth II and other royals at the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey on March 9.

The royal couple has been carrying out a series of public appearances in the UK before stepping back as working royals.

From March 31, Prince Harry and Meghan will stop using their HRH titles and receiving public money.

They will gather with the Queen – who is head of the Commonwealth – the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince William and Kate Middleton in the central London cathedral.

It will be the first time Prince Harry and Meghan have appeared with other members of the Royal Family since announcing their intention to “step back” as senior royals in January.

After the service, they are expected to return to their current base in Canada, where their son, Archie, has remained during the UK trip.
