Pitter-Patter At The Palace Meghan & Harry Can't Wait

In her first-ever official outing as the Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry’s new wife looked radiant as she joined her husband at Prince Charles’ 70th birthday celebrations.

Just three days after their fairytale wedding, the newlyweds made their debut at the Buckingham Palace garden party, with Meghan dressed to perfection in a demure blush coatdress with sheer panels and matching hat.

The pair could barely contain their love for each other, with 36-year-old Meghan boldly wrapping a protective arm around Harry, 33, as they made their way into the palace, where she happily mingled with many of the 6000 invited guests.

While many brides might have opted to head off on honeymoon as soon as their wedding was over, Meghan is said to have agreed to defer plans for a luxury getaway, instead concentrating on royal duty. “Meghan was more than happy to hold off on a honeymoon,” a palace insider tells us. “In fact, she wouldn’t have wanted to miss her new father-in-law’s birthday celebrations for the world.

“Yes, she’s exhausted from the sheer magnitude of the wedding and all the drama that went with it, but at the same time, she’s on a huge high. She and Harry both are. They’ve never felt such happiness in all their lives and they say the day couldn’t have gone any better.”

And now that they’re finally married, the loved-up couple are firmly focusing on their next chapter – starting a family. While Harry has spoken before about his desire to become a dad, Meghan has also told friends that she is desperate to have at least three littlies. “I’d absolutely love to have children and I can’t wait to be a mother,” she has said.
