The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arrived at London’s Canada House to kick off celebrations for Commonwealth Day - and their new roles at the forefront of the ‘family of nations’.
Meghan, who is eight months pregnant, paid tribute to Canadian design in a bottle green Erdem coat, teamed with £486 Aquazzura pumps, as she arrived at Trafalgar Square with Prince Harry this morning.
Today's event will showcase and celebrate the diverse community of young Canadians living in London and around the UK, Kensington Palace said.
Los Angeles native Meghan lived in Canada, described as her 'second home', for over six years while filming for legal drama Suits in Toronto and has previously said she feels 'very connected' to the country.
The Queen has put Harry and Meghan at the forefront of her Commonwealth duties by making them President and Vice President of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, an organisation promoting young people around the world.
During their visit today, the couple will have the opportunity to talk to groups of young Canadians from a wide range of sectors including fashion, the arts, business and academia, about their experiences as expats as well as opportunities for young people working in the Commonwealth.

Glow in green in a coat by Erdem like the Duchess of Sussex
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid a visit to Canada House today, and of course Meghan paid tribute to the country she lived in for over six years via her outfit.
Her stunning coat is by Canadian-born designer Erdem, and between the rich green shade, wool fabric and black floral beaded embellishment, it's a work of art.
The swing fit and bracelet sleeves give it a vintage vibe, and this custom made design is inspired by a style from Autumn/Winter '19 collection (pictured, right). Add in her favourite Aquazzura heels, and Meghan looked positively glowing.

In her message to mark the occasion, the Queen has praised how the 'family of nations' inspires its member states to find ways of protecting the planet and its citizens.
Millions of people are 'drawn together' because of the collective values shared by the institution, the monarch says in her address to the 53 countries of the Commonwealth.
The written message is featured in the order of service for the annual Commonwealth Day service being held at Westminster Abbey later today.
The Queen, who is head of the Commonwealth, says in her message: 'In April last year, I welcomed the leaders of our 53 nations to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, and we all witnessed how the Commonwealth vision offers hope, and inspires us to find ways of protecting our planet, and our people.
'We are able to look to the future with greater confidence and optimism as a result of the links that we share, and thanks to the networks of co-operation and mutual support to which we contribute, and on which we draw.

'With enduring commitment through times of great change, successive generations have demonstrated that whilst the goodwill for which the Commonwealth is renowned may be intangible, its impact is very real.'
The Queen will be joined at the Commonwealth Day service by the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of York.
Other guests among the 2,000-strong congregation will include Prime Minister Theresa May, the Commonwealth Secretary-General Baroness Scotland, alongside high commissioners, ambassadors, faith leaders and more than 800 schoolchildren and young people.
The theme for this year's service is 'A Connected Commonwealth' which highlights the co-operation between the culturally diverse family of nations who work together in friendship.
Highlights of the service include performances by Grammy-winning group Clean Bandit and tenor Alfie Boe.
A reflection will be given by Lewis Pugh, an endurance swimmer, ocean advocate and the UN Patron of the Oceans.
Later in the evening, Charles and Camilla will be guests of the Commonwealth Secretary-General at the annual reception which traditionally takes place on Commonwealth Day at Marlborough House, the home of the Commonwealth Secretariat, the institution's civil service.
Last year, the Queen told foreign dignitaries of her 'sincere wish' that they pick Prince Charles to take over as leader of the Commonwealth and 'carry on' the 'important work' started by her father in 1949.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
