Meghan and Harry are due to officially step down as senior royals on March 31.

The couple are expected to spend more time in America the the UK, but they could return for certain key events, such as Trooping the Colour in June.

The Commonwealth Service is held annually on the second Monday of March and is attended by various heads of governments and representatives.

Last week Meghan made a surprise visit to a school in Dagenham before International Women’s Day.

Highland dancers and musicals performed outside Westminster Abbey ahead of service for Commonwealth Day.

The theme for this year’s Commonwealth Day was “Delivering a Common Future: Connecting, Innovating and Transforming”.

The Commonwealth website said it was chosen because “the governments and people of our diverse family of 54 Commonwealth countries connect at many levels through extensive and deep-rooted networks of friendship and goodwill”.

“Together, the countries and people of the Commonwealth tackle climate change and its impacts.

“We work to find sustainable ways of using the natural resources of our planet, its land and ocean, so that our environment is protected.

“Together, we work to build peace and harmony through social and democratic development.”
