The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped out in London for their first - and one of their final - royal engagements since news broke they were stepping back.

In spectacular scenes, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were glowing as they attended the Endeavour Fund Awards at London's Mansion House Friday evening, local time.

Meghan looked the picture of health in a striking blue dress, while Harry was smiling for cameras as the pair walked hand in hand carrying an umbrella.

The duo are at the event to celebrate the achievements of wounded, injured and sick servicemen.

The Sussexes are currently attending a pre-ceremony reception, where they will meet the nominees, endeavour participants and key supporters of the fund.

They will then attend the awards ceremony, where they will each present an award, and Harry will give a short speech.

The awards night will be the first of three joint engagements the couple will undertake together before closing their Buckingham Palace office on April 1 ahead of their new life in Canada.

Royal watchers were in raptures over the appearance, taking to social media to praise the outgoing royals.

Their last official public appearance in the UK will be Monday's Commonwealth Day services, three weeks before they head back to Canada.

Last year at the awards ceremony, a heavily pregnant Meghan presented the Celebrating Excellence Award to Nathan Forster, a former soldier of the Army's Parachute Regiment.

The Friday night ceremony marks the beginning of a packed weekend for the couple.

The very next day, Harry will attend the official opening of the Silverstone UK Experience Museum.

On Sunday, Meghan will make a solo public appearance for International Women's Day, and the couple will round out their week of appearances with the Commonwealth Day service on March 9.

Other members of the royal family who are expected to attend the services include Prince Charles and Camilla, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton following their royal tour of Ireland.

It will be the first time the four will be seen together publicly after Harry and Meghan announced they were "stepping down", amid reports the "feud" between Harry and Will ended during January's Sandringham Summit.

While Harry is expected to attend the London Marathon in April in his capacity as patron, and the couple will attend the Invictus Games in the Netherlands in May, this weekend's events will be their last official standing duties.
