Meghan Markle beams as she drives near her $14m Montecito home – hours before her husband returned home

• The Duchess of Sussex appeared relaxed while driving around on Wednesday in California

• She is awaiting the return of her husband Prince Harry who has been in the UK following King Charles’ shock cancer diagnosis

Meghan Markle has been seen for the first time since Prince Harry dashed to meet with his cancer-stricken father King Charles.

The Duchess of Sussex flashed a smile as she drove around near her $14 million Montecito home.

Meghan looked relaxed from behind the wheel of her Range Rover in a baseball cap and dark, oversized sunglasses, and sipped from a coffee mug as she drove along.

Her appearance on Wednesday was the first time she has been publicly photographed since Prince Harry jetted off to London to visit his ailing father.

The Prince embarked on a trip to see King Charles following the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis. Harry is understood to have spent just 45 minutes visiting with his father and Queen Camilla before heading back.

Charles was said to have been unhappy as he was left ‘kicking his heels’ waiting for Harry to arrive as he delayed his trip to Sandringham ‘ for ‘peace and quiet.’

Harry’s visit did not include a meeting with his estranged brother and heir to the throne, Prince William, or his wife, Kate Middleton, who is recovering from surgery. Both Meghan and Harry have been out of monarchy life since the couple stepped down from their royal roles.

The Duke, 39, arrived at Heathrow just before 2pm and arrived back in LA on Wednesday evening.

He traveled without his two young children Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.

The father and son had a ‘brief meeting’ before the King and Camilla were driven to Buckingham Palace where a helicopter was waiting to take them back to Sandringham.

Notably absent from the reunion was his brother Prince William, with no signs the tensions between the two have eased since Harry and Meghan decided to step back from senior royal duties in 2020.
