Meghan Markle Proves Her Royal Status at Royal Ascot

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, attended one of the Queen's favourite events, Royal Ascot, and proved that she has taken to her new role as a royal with ease.

Meghan wore a stunning white Givenchy gown and was seen laughing and joking with Camilla and the Queen.

She even presented the winning trophy for the 4.20pm race, the St James Palace Stakes.

Despite being only one month into her new role, Meghan appeared to be comfortable mingling with royal heavyweights like the Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla, and Princess Anne.

She demonstrated her caring side when she helped the Queen's racing manager, John Warren, untangle his binocular strap from his sleeve.

John is a friend of the royals and oversees all of the Queen's racing and breeding interests.

His son, Jake, is one of Prince Harry's closest friends, and his young daughter, Zally, was a flower girl at the royal wedding last month.

Meghan's appearance at Royal Ascot just four weeks after her wedding is in stark contrast to the Duchess of Cambridge.

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, did not attend Royal Ascot until three years after her marriage to Prince William.

Meghan seems to be quickly winning over her new in-laws, and from what we can see, the women are all getting on swimmingly.

Photos from Meghan's first visit to Royal Ascot showed just how much the royal women seemed to be enjoying her company.

The Queen was seen smiling lovingly at Meghan, and she was deep in conversation with Camilla, giggling away.

Meghan also looked happy and relaxed in the carriage on the way into the event, sitting next to Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

The two women looked happy and even managed to get their royal waves in time.

It's not just the women who seem to love Meghan, as Prince Charles and the other royal gents all seem to have welcomed her with open arms.

Meghan's appearance at Royal Ascot showed how she's definitely proving a hit with her in-laws and their inner circle.

Meghan's small gesture of helping John Warren untangle his binocular strap from his sleeve showed her caring side and proved that she's not just a glamorous addition to the royal family.

She's also willing to lend a helping hand to those around her.

Meghan's appearance at Royal Ascot was not the first time we saw her enjoying the Queen's company.

The women were all smiles during their day of official engagements in Cheshire.

Meghan seems to be fitting in well with the royal family and is quickly learning about the royal lifestyle.

Overall, Meghan Markle's appearance at Royal Ascot proved that she's taken to her new role as a royal with ease.
