"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are attending the @WellChild Awards, celebrating the inspirational qualities of the UK's seriously ill children and young people, along with those who go that extra mile to make a difference to their lives," Kensingston Palace tweeted along with a video of the royal couple arriving to the ceremony.
For the event, Meghan pulled her hair back into her signature low bun. She paired the look with an Altuzarra Studio black trouser suit along with a Deitas "Coco" Camisole.
Meghan also appears to have worn the pearl and diamond earrings that were gifted to her by Queen Elizabeth II. Buckingham Palace confirmed to E! News back in June that Meghan's earrings were a gift from the Queen after she was spotted wearing them while attending a royal engagement with the monarch.
Once inside the WellChild Awards on Tuesday, the royal couple met with honorees and their families. When nominee Matilda Booth gifted Meghan white roses, Harry jokingly asking Booth, "Where are my flowers?"
