Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's final event as senior working royals has begun. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arrived at Westminster Abbey for Commonwealth Day service with the Queen and other members of the royal family. They did not join the Queen's procession and will be seated along with other guests before the Queen's arrival.

This is the couple's last announced event before their transition out of their senior royal family roles begins on March 31. It comes after the couple did a series of engagements over the last week in the UK. Harry and Meghan were last at the Mountbatten Festival of Music on Saturday night, where both dressed in red.

Following Commonwealth Day Service, Meghan and Harry will return to Canada where their son Archie remains. Their next steps will be formally announced later this spring. As they wrote on their site, "as The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to develop their non-profit organization and plan for their future, we hope that you use this site as the source for factual information. In Spring 2020, their digital channels will be refreshed as they introduce the next exciting phase to you."

A royal insider shared with ELLE yesterday that the Duke and Duchess will be hard at work when they return to North America. "Moving forward, the focus for the couple goes back to preparations for their non-profit organization and numerous charitable endeavors—Harry busy with the next stages of Travalyst and Meghan working on at least two new projects," the insider said. "They’re stepping into unchartered territory but couldn’t be more excited about the year ahead. It’s the new chapter they’ve been longing for."
