Meghan looks gorgeous in Prada.

Meghan Markle is attending her first-ever Young Leaders Awards (opens in new tab)—an annual event at Buckingham Palace since 2014 that reflects the Queen's (and now Meghan's (opens in new tab)) commitment to the lifelong service of the Commonwealth.
The Duchess of Sussex looked gorgeous in a peach two-piece Prada outfit (opens in new tab) alongside Prince Harry who wore his signature blue suit. For her last event at the Royal Ascot races, Meghan wore a belted Givenchy white shirt dress (opens in new tab)—a much different look than she wore tonight.
The Commonwealth is a global network of 53 countries and 2.4 billion people, most of whom are under 30 years old (opens in new tab). Meghan became a Commonwealth Youth Ambassador (opens in new tab) a month before she married Prince Harry in May (opens in new tab) and tonight she's helping to honor the young men and women making an impact in their communities. It's a pretty big deal that she received this title before she officially became a royal, which shows the Queen's trust and pride in her.
This event marks the third time in a month that Meghan and the Queen have attended events together. Meghan traveled solo with the Queen to Cheshire (opens in new tab) on June 14 where they opened the new Mersey Gateway Bridge (opens in new tab) and the Storyhouse Theater about a half hour away. A few days later, they both went to the Royal Ascot 2018 (opens in new tab) (this time, Prince Harry was there) and had a fun day watching the horse races.
It's the big day! The 2018 #QueensYoungLeaders will be receiving their awards from Her Majesty The Queen at a special Ceremony this evening. 🎉🎉🎉 pic.twitter.com/Nq4qL5ahuzJune 26, 2018
The Young Leaders Awards (opens in new tab) will be the first of many events where Meghan will work with young people across the Commonwealth to better serve their communities and honor those who do.
