Duchess of Sussex – Meghan Markle rushed back from maternity leave to attend Trooping the Colour, alongside Prince Harry, in her first public appearance since revealing Prince Archie to the world.
And keen-eyed royal fans spotted that the beaming new mother was wearing a stunning third ring – which they claimed could be an eternity ring – next to her engagement and wedding rings.
The Duchess of Sussex looked radiant as she entered Buckingham Palace in the back of a dark blue Range Rover ahead of the Queen’s official birthday celebrations just four weeks after giving birth.
She and Harry were then whisked away in a carriage to the Horse Guards Parade to join the Royal Family – and thousands of spectators – to watch 1,400 troops, 400 musicians and 200 horses march in the parade.
Sharing the carriage with Kate Middleton and Camilla, Meghan chatted animatedly to her in-laws and beamed and waved at crowds of wellwishers.
Unfortunately for fans hoping to get a glimpse of baby Archie, the new parents didn’t bring their son to the event.
Meghan was glowing as she dawned a bespoke navy Givenchy dress and coat, paired with a Noel Stewart hat. But it was a new piece of jewelry that got eagle-eyed viewers speculating.
She was spotted with a third ring on her wedding ring finger, fuelling rumours she’d been given a ‘push present’ from her husband. The tradition, popular in the US, sees the father gift the mother a ring to mark the birth of their newborn.
Sitting below her engagement ring and wedding ring, it was difficult to spot from the front – but viewers picked up on the three defined bands on the inside of Meghan’s finger when she waved from her carriage.
Four generations of the royal family then gathered on Buckingham Palace’s balcony to watch the traditional RAF flypast which featured modern Typhoon jets and historic aircraft such as the iconic Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster bomber.
There were more cheeky antics from Prince George Princess Charlotte – who stuck their tongues out and pressed their faces up against the windows at the Palace just as they did last year.
Prince Louis joined in the fun too on what was his first royal engagement.
Harry, Meghan, Kate and the other royals – including the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children the Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor – watched events from Wellington’s office overlooking Horse Guards.
Among the guests was Theresa May who formally stepped down as Prime Minister on Friday, but will remain in office until a successor has been appointed.
The royal women looked stylish in their outfits with the Queen wearing an Angela Kelly tweed dress in shades of pale pink, mint yellow and gold and a matching hat by Ms Kelly. The head of state also wore a badge of the Brigade of Guards.
Meghan wore a dress by Clare Waight Keller and hat by Noel Stewart while Kate wore a favourite designer – an Alexander McQueen dress and hat by Philip Treacy.
Camilla had also chosen a mainstay designer Bruce Oldfield who had created a bright green dress and coat with white embroidery teamed with a Philip Treacy hat.
The Countess of Wessex, who had travelled to the ceremony in a carriage with her husband the Earl of Wessex and their children the Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor, wore a green Suzannah dress and hat by Jane Taylor.
