Cries of “Meghan, Meghan” set the tone for the arrival of the royal family at the Church of St Mary Magdalene at Sandringham Monday. Markle was wearing a light brown coat and brown hat, boots and bag. She walked arm-in-arm with fiance Prince Harry as they made the short journey from Sandringham House to the church. She seemed at ease as they smiled and chatted as they walked alongside William and Kate, who is pregnant with her third child. The Queen chose the theme of “home” for a highly personal Christmas broadcast in which she paid tribute to victims and young survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing and those of the Grenfell Tower fire. She highlighted how the “powerful identities” of London and Manchester “shone through over the past 12 months in the face of appalling attacks”. Her message was broadcast across Britain and the Commonwealth as the royal family welcomed Markle. She becomes the first unmarried partner to be invited to Sandringham for Christmas and was making her first public appearance with the royal family.
