Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, attended their most heart-wrenching royal engagement yet, as they spent time with seriously ill children and their families at an awards ceremony on Tuesday.

The couple met young winners of the 2018 WellChild Awards, which celebrate the inspiring qualities of some of the country’s seriously ill youngsters and the dedication of their loves ones who go the extra mile to keep children healthy and happy.

The Duchess, 37, looked incredible in a black trouser suit – a style she favoured heavily before officially joining the ranks of the British royal family in May – while Harry looked smart in a blue suit and matching tie.

Meghan looked sensational in the bold power suit, designed by New York brand Altuzarra, with slim fitting trousers which showed off her elegant frame. She teamed the pant and blazer combo with a stunning black satin blouse and a pair of black stiletto heeled court shoes.

Opting for her favourite hairstyle, Meghan wore her dark locks pulled back into a messy low bun, with two strands of hair curled at the front, framing her face perfectly. While she kept her make-up understated with a slick of black eyeliner and a coating of pink lipgloss.

Prince Harry, 33, has been Patron of WellChild, the national charity for seriously ill children and their families, since 2007.

It is their second official engagement within the space a week, after enjoying some time off together, along with fellow members of the royal family. The couple made their first appearance in around a month at a special charity performance of stage show Hamilton in London last week.

The royal couple, who said their vows almost four months ago at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, are preparing to visit Australia for their first official intercontinental trip together.

Harry and Meghan will head down under in October for the Invictus Games in Sydney, a world-renowned sporting event in celebration of wounded war veterans which was founded by the Duke in 2014.

The palace is yet to reveal details about exactly where the couple will visit in Australia besides Sydney, but did announce they’ll also swing by Commonwealth countries New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.
