However, while the couple appeared to have a great time with Harry's royal relatives, rumours soon started after Harry, 40, returned to London early, missing the annual Boxing Day pheasant shoot. Meghan was accused at the time of stopping the prince from going, however it seems there was another factor at play.

The Duchess of Sussex's half-sister, Samantha Markle, confirmed that a comment made by Prince Harry ahead of his 2018 royal wedding had hurt the Markle family, saying 'something was not right'

Markle wore a denim Caroline Herrera dress, while Harry donned a simple black ensemble.
