As Meghan Markle enjoys a well-deserved honeymoon with Prince Harry, the spotlight is about to shift back to her once she returns to London. The Duchess of Sussex will be diving straight into royal duties. Let me tell you, this is no ordinary start. Meghan will be teaming up with none other than Queen Elizabeth herself for a series of engagements. Picture this: the two of them traveling together on the Queen's personal train, a symbol of the highest royal privilege. It’s like getting a backstage pass to the royal world.
First Joint Engagement: A Royal Roadshow
This week, the palace confirmed that Meghan and Queen Elizabeth will embark on their first joint engagement. They’ll be opening the Mersey Gateway Bridge in Cheshire, inaugurating the Storyhouse Theater in Chester, and attending a lunch at the Chester Town Hall on June 14. Now, here’s the exciting part: the royal family’s website has revealed that the duo will travel to these events on the Queen's personal train. At 92 years old, Her Majesty has a train that’s as iconic as Buckingham Palace itself, and only the most senior royals get to ride it.
Exclusive Access: The Queen's Train
Let’s talk about the Queen's train for a moment. It’s not just any train; it’s a symbol of prestige and tradition. Prince Charles, Prince Philip, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, have been among the select few to ride it. Surprisingly, Prince William only got to use it once, way back in 2003 for his birthday tour. As for Prince Harry and Kate Middleton, they’ve never even stepped foot on it. This means Meghan is about to join an exclusive club, and that’s a big deal.

A Little History Lesson: The Royal Train
The Royal Train was first made in 1842 for Queen Victoria, who became the first monarch to travel by railway. Last year, the train was used just 14 times, but the Queen prefers it for her UK engagements. Why? It’s more comfortable, of course. The train is decked out with luxury features, including a bath, a 12-seater dining room, a smoking room, and several bedrooms. It’s like a floating palace, complete with all the comforts of home.
But wait, there’s more. Meghan’s exciting agenda doesn’t stop there. This weekend will mark her first-ever appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. She’ll be joining her new family at the annual Trooping the Colour parade. It’s a moment that royal watchers have been eagerly anticipating. Imagine the scene: the newlyweds standing side by side, waving to the crowd. It’s a picture-perfect moment that symbolizes Meghan’s full integration into the royal family.
Now, because Meghan and Harry tied the knot in Windsor, fans didn’t get to see the traditional Buckingham Palace balcony kiss. But don’t worry, we still got two romantic kisses—one outside the church and another in the carriage. This Saturday, June 9, we’ll finally see the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the balcony during the annual military parade celebrating the Queen’s birthday. It’s going to be a moment of pure magic.
“There will be huge interest in seeing the newlyweds after the magic of their wedding,” a source told The Mirror. “The balcony appearance is the perfect symbol of how Meghan has been welcomed into the family.”

And it’s not just Meghan and Harry who will be in the spotlight. Fans will also get a chance to see Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Speculation is growing that Prince George might even ride in a carriage down The Mall, just like his father did at the same age. It’s going to be a royal spectacle, and you won’t want to miss it.
