Meghan Markle is on her soon-to-be husband Prince Harry’s arm as they make their rounds in Northern Ireland together for the first time. Peep their flicks, plus find out about a new documentary about Meghan to be released right before the royal wedding inside….
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are busy making stops to fulfill their royal duties. The engaged couple made a surprise visit to Belfast in Northern Ireland to attend a few events. It’s the couple’s first appearance together in Northern Ireland.
The former actress and British royal made their way to the Eikon Center this morning (March 23rd) where they sat front row to witness the youth-led peace-building initiative “Amazing the Space.”
The bride-to-be rocked a Victoria Beckham sweater paired with a teal Greta Constantine skirt (made by a black designer), velvet Jimmy Choo heels, a Charlotte Elizabeth purse and she topped her look off with a gorgeous Mackage coat.
We see Meghan is bringing some color in her royal fashion game just as we welcome Spring.
After watching some performances, Prince Harry and Ms. Markle heard from the young people themselves about the reconciliation work going on across Northern Ireland. pic.twitter.com/f9JHWU2d0j

When you’re about to become a royal, it’s expected to have everything you do picked apart. And it's no different for Meghan.
The former “Suits” actress is being called a royal rebel for “breaking” royal protocol… again. Apparently messy buns aren’t accepted royal protocol for public engagements. Had she followed the rules to a T, she would have had her hair combed back and cinched with a hairnet. Her soon-to-be sister-in-law Kate Middleton always leaves the house with a hairnet around her updos.
If you haven’t noticed by now, Meghan is obviously going to be the “modern” royal in Kensington Palace. And we love it.
As the couple continued their rounds, they stopped to greet the public standing outside on Great Victoria Street, they visited the Belfast campus to visit science Park Catalyst Inc. to meet some of Northern Ireland's brightest young entrepreneurs and innovators, and they stopped by Titanic Belfast, one of the world's leading tourist attractions.
Look what just became available...
Meghan and Prince Harry are celebrating their upcoming nuptials with commemorative china. The exclusive design shows a monogram surmounted by the coronet of Prince Harry, and tied together with white ribbons. The decorative borders are inspired by the mid-thirteenth century Gilebertus doors at St. George's Chapel.
You can cop a set here.

Guests have been invited to the service at St George's Chapel and to the lunchtime reception at St George's Hall, which is being given by Her Majesty The Queen.

All of the lucky people who landed a spot on Meghan and Prince Harry's guest list should be receiving their invitations soon.
“The invitations follow many years of Royal tradition and have been made by Barnard Westwood,” Kensington Palace tweeted alongside a photo of the royal invite. “They feature the Three-Feathered Badge of the Prince of Wales printed in gold ink.”
Around 600 people will attend the service and the luncheon, which will be hosted by the Queen at St. George’s Hall at Windsor Castle. Later, about 200 guests will attend a private reception hosted by Prince Charles at Frogmore House on the castle grounds (where the couple snapped their gorgeous engagement photos).
Later that evening, around 200 guests are being invited to the reception at Frogmore House given by The Prince of Wales.

Lottie Small, who recently completed her apprenticeship, printed all of the invitations in a process known as die stamping, on a machine from the 1930s that she affectionately nicknamed Maude. pic.twitter.com/kWs2RFx7nN
