Meghan Markle arrived to the 100th anniversary celebration of the Royal Air Force today wearing a stunning black dress.

The Duchess of Sussex joins her husband Prince Harry and other members of the royal family, including the Queen, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall for the centennial. Even Prince William and Kate Middleton are attending, after making an appearance for their son Prince Louis' christening yesterday. (The Duchess of Cambridge is currently on maternity leave, but stepped out for the RAF's celebration regardless).

The festivities in London include a service at Westminster Abbey followed by a parade of up to 1,300 serving personnel and a celebratory flypast with up to 100 aircraft over Buckingham Palace. The air force's actual 100th birthday was in April, but today's celebrations arrive 100 days after the anniversary, according to the RAF's website.

Markle's appearance on the Palace balcony will be her second following her Buckingham debut at Trooping the Colour at the beginning of June. That event, which honored the Queen's birthday, also included a flypast above the royal residence.

Meghan just made an appearance with the royal family yesterday for the christening of Prince Louis, nephew of Prince Harry and son of Prince William and Kate Middleton. For the private ceremony at St. James' Palace, the Duchess of Sussex wore a monochrome olive green look by Ralph Lauren.

This marks a busy week for Markle, who officially became part of the royal family when she married Prince Harry in May. Following the Royal Air Force engagement, she and the Duke of Sussex are heading to Ireland for a two-day royal tour. Their visit to Dublin will include Croke Park, Trinity College, and the famine memorial, Irish Mirror reports.
