/ Celebrities, Entertainment / By

Meghan Markle, the new royal mom we can’t get enough of, made her first public appearance since giving birth to her baby boy Archie Harrison. In official celebration of Queen Elizabeth‘s 93rd birthday (which occurred in April), Meghan and Prince Harry attended the Trooping the Colour event on Saturday.

The glowing new parents departed Buckingham Palace in a horse-drawn carriage, along with Kate Middleton and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. The Duchess of Sussex, who has chosen to remain out of the public eye after giving birth, rocked a navy Givenchy dress and overcoat gifted to her by her wedding dress designer Clare Waight Keller.

Today The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined The Queen and members of The Royal Family at the annual Trooping the Colour, to celebrate Her Majesty’s official birthday. Trooping the Colour orginated from traditional preparations for battle and has commemorated the birthday of the sovereign for more than 250 years. In the 18th century, guards from the royal palaces regularly assembled to “troop" colours or flags down the rank, so they could be seen and recognised by the soldiers. In 1748, it was announced this parade would also mark the Sovereign’s official birthday. Trooping the Colour is performed by regiments of the British and Commonwealth armies for The Queen’s birthday parade, allowing them to pay a personal tribute to Her Majesty. Today over 1400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians came together on Horse Guards Parade in London in a great display of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare. The parade concludes with a 41-gun salute fired by The King’s Troop, following which The Queen leads members of The Royal Family back to the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the Royal Air Force flypast display.

Completing the look, Meghan added a navy hat by Noel Stewart and a new diamond eternity band that caught everyone’s eye. The latest bling is said to be an anniversary gift from Prince Harry.

Recent reports claim that, although he was not photographed at the event, month-old Archie Harrison was, in fact, in attendance. “[It] was a chance for him to meet some of his cousins,” a source said.

Fingers crossed we get another glimpse of Archie soon!
