It was the first time that the four had been seen together in a royal engagement, and Meghan used the opportunity to voice her opinions on current issues surrounding women's rights.

Addressing the audience at the Royal Foundation's inaugural forum, Prince William gained rapturous applause as he spoke of Ms Markle. The event was themed "Making a Difference Together", created to showcase programmes run by The Royal Foundation, including causes close to the young royals' hearts, such as Heads Together and the Invictus Games. Markle then answered a few questions about her own activism and explained that she has been meeting with different people and organizations to kick off her women's rights and empowerment work in the United Kingdom.

"You'll often hear people say, 'well you're helping women find their voices, '" said Markle, "and I fundamentally disagree with that because women don't need to find a voice".

"I think it's really good we've got four different personalities", Harry said of working with his fiancee, brother and sister-in-law.

Harry jokingly concluded, "We're stuck together for the rest of our lives".

She told the crowd she had experience working with both worldwide charities and smaller organisations which worked well because of a "lot less red tape" and would focus particularly on women and girls' rights. TelevisionOn Tuesday on the TV talk show The Real, Mel B revealed that she and the other members of the Spice Girls had been invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

William officially welcomed Markle to the family, adding how "delighted" he was for her to join them at the event, which was greeted with a warm round of applause from Kate. "When we work together, we are greater than the sum of our parts".

Kate - who's now expecting her third child - also said previously that she encourages her children to talk about their feelings and would not hesitate to get them help if they needed it.

Markle discussed her feminist pursuits during the official royal appearance, while Prince Harry and Prince William admitted they have plenty of disagreements when working together. The event marked the first time both royal couples have appeared at an official event together. "It makes such a tremendous difference".

"I am very excited to work on initiatives similarly and have that global impact".

For Markle, the goal is not to help "women find their voices" but to empower women to use the voices they already have and to encourage people to listen to them.

Harry could be quietly heard muttering "wedding first" as Ms Markle made the comments, prompting her to insist: "We can multi-task".
