Prince William looked his usual dapper self in a blue suit with a white shirt, and colour-matched his wife with a dark red tie with white polka dots.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived shortly before Kate, Prince William, the Queen and other senior members of the Royal Family.
Prince Harry and Meghan are joining the monarch, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Cambridges as they carry out their last public royal duty before they walk away from the monarchy.
Other arrivals included Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his pregnant fiancée Carrie Symonds, Geri Halliwell and her 13-year-old daughter Bluebell, singers Alexandra Burke and Craig David, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and his wife Laura Alvarez.

Also there were Home Secretary Priti Patel, Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg and US Ambassador Woody Johnson, who gave another guest an elbow bump in the wake of the coronavirus.
Unlike last year, Kate and William and Harry and Meghan were conducted to their seats, rather than waiting for the Queen’s arrival and walking through the church in London with the monarch as they did last year.
A source said the amendments were made yesterday, despite the Order of Service already having been signed off and printed. Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have not commented on why the switch has been made.
