Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry step out to WellChild Awards in London

October 15, 2019

Nice to see you two again!

Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry looked refreshed and happy on Oct. 15 as they stepped out to their first joint engagement following their royal tour of southern Africa! The couple attended the WellChild Awards in London, and Meghan chose a much different look than she wore to the event last year. In 2018, she stunned in an Altuzarra pantsuit. This time, she pulled out the P.A.R.O.S.H. dress we saw her wear during her engagement photoshoot and interview with Harry in 2017. She paired it with a coat from Canadian designer Sentaler and heels from Manolo Blahnik.

The couple will present an award at the event, which is close to Harry's heart, since he's been a patron of WellChild since 2007.

They also received a special onesie for <strong><a href="/tags/0/archie-harrison">Archie Harrison</a></strong>, who they confirmed has red hair!
<p>Meghan also reportedly told another mother the couple had taken Archie for his first playgroup that morning and he "loved it."

At one point during the awards, Harry delivered a speech and became quite emotional, needing to stop talking and clear his throat as his eyes welled up with tears.

“Last year when my wife and I attended, we knew we were expecting our first child – no one else did at the time, but we did,” he said, trailing off.

“I remember squeezing Meghan’s hand so tight during the awards, both of us thinking what it would be like to be parents one day, and more so, what it would be like to do everything we could to protect and help our child should they be born with immediate challenges or become unwell over time,” he continued. “And now, as parents, being here and speaking to all of you pulls at my heartstrings in a way I could never have understood until I had a child of my own.”
