Prince Harry and wife Meghan were all smiles as they arrived at the Endeavour Fund Awards in London, marking their first joint appearance since their royal exit.
Meghan wore a bright blue Victoria Beckham dress while Harry was matching in a navy blue suit.
Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, sit next to Ross Kemp during the annual Endeavour Fund Awards at Mansion House in London, Britain March 5, 2020.
The couple seemed in good spirits as they showed off some PDA, holding hands at the event.
The Duke and Duchess shared clips from the event on their official Instagram account, greeting guests, presenting awards and even witnessing a proposal on stage.

The Endeavour Fund Awards recognise the achievements of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women in sporting and adventure challenges. The couple greeted nominees before both delivering speeches at the event.
In her first public speech since departing the royal family, Meghan presented the Celebrating Excellence Award. Taking the stage, the Duchess remarked that it was “very nice to be back.” She went on to say “I’ve had the incredible fortune of joining my husband here, and as you all know, I can feel that it is just the most inspiring space.”
Britain’s Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, speaks during the annual Endeavour Fund Awards at Mansion House in London, Britain March 5, 2020.
Closing the ceremony, Prince Harry congratulated all the winners and shared his support, saying “many of you tonight have told me you have my back, well I’m here to tell you, I’ve always got yours.”
The couple is expected to carry out their final royal engagements before officially stepping down on 31 March. They will be attending the Mountbatten Music Festival together on Saturday before they reunite with the royal family at Monday’s Commonwealth Day Service.
