Meghan Markle [1] hit a milestone on Tuesday when she took part in her first official solo royal engagement since marrying Prince Harry [2]. The Duchess of Sussex was invited to the opening of "Oceania", a new exhibition at London's Royal Academy of Arts, and this time, she was on her own. People were eager to see how she would fare without Prince Harry there [3] to guide her through the maze that is royal protocol (as he so sweetly did on so many of their early appearances [4]) but it won't come as a surprise to anyone that she took it all in her stride.
Meghan seems to be settling into her new role with ease, whether she's giving a speech [5] (without cue cards) or dealing with naughty toddlers [6]. Her latest outing was yet another example of why the former actress is the perfect modern royal. See all the photos from her appearance ahead.
