More than four years ago Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dramatically revealed they were quitting royal duties.

The pair stunned the world with their shock statement that confirmed they would be stepping back from engagements and forging a new life away from the Royal Family and indeed the UK. It came after months of speculation that all was not rosy between the Sussexes and the rest of the Firm.

But before their final departure, the couple got down to completing some of their final ever royal engagements – and on her last solo outing, it seems Meghan became tearful as she gave a poignant speech that included a seven-word response to her situation.

For her final solo engagement, she held a private meeting at Buckingham Palace with Association of Commonwealth Universities scholars – during which she spoke to students about their work on subjects including climate change.
