The couple also rode in a horse drawn carriage during the parade featuring more than 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians. Markle’s appearance comes exactly three weeks after the actress’ spectacular wedding to Prince Harry in a ceremony that was watched by millions around the world.
Following the parade, Meghan and Harry joined their fellow Royals, including the Queen, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, on the balcony to wave to crowds and watch an aerial show by the Royal Force Air, including the famous Red Arrows display team, CNN reported.
Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday is traditionally celebrated on the second Saturday in June to also honor select citizens for their public service to the nation. The Queen turned 92 on her actual birthday on April 21.
