Today, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made their first post-wedding appearance as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but Markle didn't just share the sweet occasion with her husband, she bonded with her in-laws, too.
While Prince Harry gave a welcoming address at the event—a garden party honoring his father, Prince Charles—his family, including his new wife, beamed beside him. But he ran into a bit of a slip-up mid-speech when a pesky bee started bothering him at the podium.
"Sorry, that bee really got me," the Duke said after a pause in his speech. The crowd—including Duchess Meghan, Duchess Camilla, and Prince Charles—responded with chuckles.
In a classic adorable grandpa move, Prince Charles even had to lean in to ask what the joke was, but Camilla and Meghan obliged mid-laughter.
Markle already appears to be getting along well with her in-laws, especially after Harry's father filled in for her own dad and walked her down the aisle. After the bride walked part of the way solo, the Prince of Wales stepped in and escorted her to the altar at St. George's Chapel. Prince Charles also hosted the evening reception following the wedding at Frogmore House.
We can't wait to see more sweet moments between Markle and the royal family as she continues to grow into her new role as a Duchess.
Markle wore a pale-pink sheer dress by Goat for today's garden party, paired with a matching Philip Treacy hat. The ladylike ensemble follows the classic Givenchy gown she wore on her wedding day and the elegant high-neck Stella McCartney dress she wore for the reception.
