Summary

When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry married, it was thought their working royal life would have a heavy focus on the Commonwealth. Instead, Monday's Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey marked their final joint engagement as senior working royals. That meant a first public outing with the royal family since they broke the news they were quitting. Pod Save The Queen host Ann Gripper (@anngripper) talks to Rachael Bletchly (@rachaelbletchly), chief feature writer at the Daily Mirror, and Mirror photographer Phil Harris (@mirrorsnapper on Instagram) about the Commonwealth Day service, while Mirror Online lifestyle editor Zoe Forsey (@zoeforsey) catches us up on the rest of their visit.
