Meghan Markle arrives at Pippa Middleton’s reception

Meghan Markle reportedly arrived at Pippa Middleton and James Matthews’ wedding reception just in time to watch a majestic flypast by a Word War Two-era Spitfire plane.

Prince Harry’s actress girlfriend, 35, is understood to have joined guests to witness the spectacular aerial display from a £100,000 glass marquee in the Middletons’ estate in Bucklebury, Berkshire, at 7.15pm on Saturday.

The Suits star was not by Harry’s side for the much-anticipated wedding in the nearby village of Englefield, but made a camera-shy appearance at the lavish reception, E! News reported.

Just hours earlier, a beaming Pippa, 33, married millionaire hedge-fund manager James, 41, in an intimate ceremony at a 12th-century church.

It seems that Meghan has been eagerly anticipating the occasion as she has been seen indulging in several beauty treatments in the run up to the big day.

On Friday the actress, who landed in London on Tuesday, was spotted leaving a swanky spa in Soho, London, after a £250 facial ahead of the society event of year.

Prince Harry’s girlfriend looked casual in black leggings, a black hoodie and a grey baseball cap teamed with trainers. She offset her look with a £550 ($795) Clifton Rosewater Small Classic Grain bag by British brand Mulberry, and carried her iPhone in her hand as she left the spa.

It appeared that the actress had treated herself to a manicure as she displayed freshly painted nails.

Meghan arrived in the UK on Tuesday ahead of joining boyfriend Prince Harry at Pippa Middleton’s wedding this weekend.

According to E! News, Ms Markle arrived at Heathrow Airport on Tuesday and was immediately taken to Kensington Palace.

It was initially thought that Meghan Markle may not attend the event as it was rumoured that Pippa Middleton was operating a ‘no ring no bring’ policy as her brother-in-law Spencer Matthews will not be bringing girlfriend Vogue Williams.

The evening reception was reported to be a lavish affair, with a nod to the groom’s Scottish connections in the entertainment and food – the dinner is said to feature haggis on the menu along with Scottish lamb and whisky

Pippa beamed with pride as she left the church as a married woman on the arm of her new husband James.

It was the moment the world had been waiting for and Pippa didn’t disappoint as she dressed to impress in a stunning white Giles Deacon gown for her nuptials to the 41-year-old financier she began dating last year.
