While Prince William and Kate Middleton took a ride in a tuk tuk in Pakistan, last night Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended another event in London.

The royal couple spoke at the WellChild awards, which Harry and now Meghan attend every year. The Duke of Sussex is a patron for the charity, which allows children with serious illnesses to spend time at home with their families.

During the event, where they met with children and their families, Prince Harry made an emotional speech, welling up as he mentioned that the previous year, he and his wife were the only people to know they were pregnant. He went on to explain that he could only truly understand now how heartbreaking it is for parents to have a sick child.

For this important event, the Duchess of Sussex wore a dress that no doubt has sentimental value to her, as it's the one she wore to announce her engagement in 2017.

The green dress by Parosh features a tie belt, and she wore in with a camel coat by Santeler and suede pumps. She finished off her look with Emily Mortimer earrings.

She finished off her look with a quirky tortoiseshell bag with silk tie handle by Montunas.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
