Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped out tonight for the Mountbatten Festival of Music at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The event is one of the couple's last as senior members of the royal family before they step back from their working royal duties at the end of the month.
In fact, according to Daily Mail royal correspondent Rebecca English, the music festival is nearly the final event the Sussexes are scheduled to attend before their royal exit takes effect.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex cut a dash at the Mountbatten Music Festival at the Royal Albert Hall tonight," English wrote on Twitter Saturday afternoon. "It’s their penultimate official engagement as senior working royals and very possibly Harry’s last as Captain General, Royal Marines."

The festival, which brings draws world-class musicians, composers, and conductors of the Massed Bands of Her Majestys Royal Marines, is expected to be the final time Harry wears his dress uniform as Captain General, a title he'll surrender when the he and Meghan step back from royal duties.
Meghan looked stunning as always in a red, Safiyaa cape dress and carrying a Manolo Blahnik red, satin clutch with a jeweled buckle. The dress retails for $1,693, while the clutch goes for £1,260, or about $1,644. Both are still available to purchase, if you're looking to splurge:
This year's Mountbatten Music Festival performance marks the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 80th anniversary of the formation of Britains Commandos. Although, TBH, no judgement if you're still more excited about Meghan's dress than the anniversary fun facts.
