The Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex have come together for their first joint engagement since they were pictured attending the annual church service at Sandringham on Christmas Day.
Kate, 37, and Meghan, also 37, attended a reception in the White Drawing room at Buckingham Palace thrown by the Queen to mark the 50th anniversary of her son Charles' investiture as Prince of Wales.
Their husbands, along with Prime Minister Theresa May, were among the guests at the event honouring Charles's contribution to the national life of Wales over the decades.
Charles was created the Prince of Wales at the age of nine, on July 26 1958, and was formally invested with the title at Caernarfon Castle by the Queen on July 1 1969.
The investiture regalia he wore was on display, including the coronet, sword, ring and rod, as well as the Letters Patent for the creation of Charles as Prince of Wales in 1958.
Brushing aside ongoing rumours of a rift, the Duchess of Sussex looked elegant as she joined Prince Harry, 34, to mark Prince Charles' fifty years of service to Wales, the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
Meghan cut a graceful figure in a recycled £895 Amanda Wakeley coat teamed with a floral embellished dress as she stood alongside Harry during the celebrations on Tuesday, joined by Kate and Prince William, 36.
Meanwhile the Duchess of Cambridge looked stylish in a mint-coloured blouse dress featuring ruffled sleeves and a button-up collar, which she teamed with suede nude heels.
Prime Minister Theresa May was pictured curtsying as she greeted the Queen, with both parties opting for vibrant purple ensembles for the occasion.
Dressed in a smart pinstripe suit and patterned tie, the Prince of Wales was seen chatting to actor Owen Teale and opera singer Wynne Evans, who is well-known for his role as the tenor Gio Compario in the Go Compare insurance adverts.
Welsh band Stereophonics, who were supported by the Prince's Trust in their early days, were also at the event, as was Games Of Thrones star Owen Teale.
