Meghan Markle and the Queen Spent the Whole Day Together—And the Pics Are Glorious
It's official: Meghan Markle and Queen Elizabeth are best friends.
OK, so we don't know that for sure, but the two did look like they were having fun on their first trip today—just the two of them—to Cheshire, England. The Duchess of Sussex and the Queen were in Cheshire for a variety of engagements, including stops at the Town Hall and the Storyhouse Theater. They also attended the opening of the Mersey Gateway Bridge, where they watched a performance from local school children.
What's most notable about their trip—besides the photos, which we'll get to—is their mode of transportation. The Duchess and the Queen zipped over to Cheshire in what's commonly referred to as the royal train. It's a big deal, considering Prince Harry hasn't even received an invitation to ride. In fact, the only other non-senior royal who's gone on the train is Prince William—once, on his birthday.
The pics of Markle and the Queen outside the royal train are nothing short of delightful. They look like Hogwarts students, if Hogwarts students wore lime green custom suits and Givenchy dresses. Bougie Hogwarts students! (Markle wore Givenchy for her day out.)
Kensington Palace shared a photo of the Duchess and the Queen enjoying a laugh at the bridge opening. Wouldn't it be amazing if one of the kids performing did a monologue from Suits?
"The Queen and The Duchess of Sussex observed the national silence in memory of the people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire, a year ago today," Kensington Palace captioned the photo below:
Rebecca English from The Daily Mail managed to snap this footage of Markle and Queen at one of their Cheshire engagements.
