Rumour has it that the Duchess of Sussex will be joining the Queen on her royal train for their official engagements next week.
Only the most senior members of the Royal Family – the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, and the Duchess of Cornwall are entitled to use the superior form of transport.
Neither Prince William, nor Kate, nor Harry have ever been able to use the train in an official capacity.
Last year royals travelled on the exclusive train just 14 times, costing the taxpayer £900,000. Buckingham Palace officials are aware of the expense, but say the Queen finds it more comfortable to use on long journeys, compared to other modes of transport.
Meghan must be pretty special to get the royal invite. But then again, we already knew that.
Although this isn’t Meghan’s first royal engagement it will be her first one just with the Queen. For more details on Meghan and Harry’s recent wedding, click here and here. Or to view Meghan’s newly unveiled coat of arms, click here.
