Meghan and Harry’s wedding was one of the biggest events of the year with the momentous occasion reportedly costing an eye-watering £32 million.

The Royals certainly went all out for their big day, especially Meghan who spent an extortionate amount of money on her hair and makeup.

The Duchess of Sussex looked as classy as ever on her wedding day with a simple updo and natural makeup look. However, despite the understated look, the former Suits actress forked out a reported £10,000 on her hair and makeup.

It is believed Meghan’s hair and makeup team spent a mere 45 minutes on her wedding look.

Serge Normant was the man behind Meghan’s chic updo and Daniel Martin worked his makeup magic on Meghan for the big day.

Speaking of the special moment, Normant told Glamour that Meghan was extremely relaxed during the entire process.

“We talked together a little bit before, but we wanted something that would have an easy feel to it. [It] wasn't a huge process. We wanted it to be something that was right for the day and that felt right for her mostly."

The Duchess looked breathtakingly beautiful on her wedding day, stealing the hearts of the millions who tuned in to watch her and Prince Harry tie the knot at St. George’s Chapel on May 19.

However, we can’t quite believe just how much she spent on her hair and makeup alone.

We won’t feel half as guilty the next time we splurge on lipstick from Charlotte Tilbury.

Meghan Markle was glowing at her solo royal engagement this morning. The mum-to-be charmed residents at the Royal Variety residential nursing and care home in Brinsworth House in Twickenham.

The Duchess wore a grey and white floral Brock Collection dress that showed off her growing bump perfectly.

She kept herself warm in a sleek grey winter coat by Canadian brand Soia & Kyo.

Duchess Meghan looked as beautiful as ever during her visit. She helped make Christmas decorations and enjoyed a merry carol service with the men and women of the Royal Variety nursing and care home.

One woman couldn’t help but ask Meghan how she was finding pregnancy and her response was so sweet.

The royals tend to avoid personal questions, but Meghan happily told the residents that she was doing “very good.”

She also joked about her blooming bump and said, “I’m looking very pregnant today.”

The nursing home helps men and women who have worked in the entertainment industry and are in need of help and assistance due to old age, poor health or hard times.

There’s no doubt the former actress charmed the residents during her visit this morning. One of the residents told the Duchess that everyone at the home is friends to which she replied, “I hope I can join the club.”

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have brightened up our Friday morning by releasing a new photo of their darling family.

Kensington Palace posted the adorable photo on behalf of the parents this morning.

They tweeted: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a new photograph of their family."

The photo features on Their Royal Highnesses’ Christmas card this year.

The family-of-five look as happy as ever in the wholesome snap which was taken by Matt Portenous at Anmer Hall.

We simply cannot cope with just how cute Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis look.

The family-of-five have had quite the magical year since Prince Louis was born in April.

Christmas at the Cambridge household is bound to be extra special this year.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to move out of Kensington Palace to live in quite the special place.

Kensington Palace confirmed that the parents-to-be are planning on moving early in the new year ahead of the arrival of their first child.

According to Emily Andrews of The Sun, the Queen gifted the pair a new house which will be their official residence.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move into Frogmore Cottage once refurbishments are complete. It is believed the house is undergoing a large transformation to ensure it is a suitable home for a family.

The 10 bedroom house will be turned into a lavish family home. It will feature a nursery and even has space for a yoga studio and a gym.

We can barely afford to rent one bedroom so it's safe to say we're VERY jealous of the royals.

Frogmore Cottage is located in Windsor and holds a very special place in Harry and Meghan’s hearts.

The couple held their private evening wedding party and shot their engagement photos at Frogmore Cottage so it certainly means a lot to them.

“Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate,” Kensington Palace stated.

We are thrilled for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. There’s no doubt Frogmore Cottage will be the perfect place for the pair to start their life as parents.

Meghan is set to give birth to their first child in the coming months. It has been rumoured that the former actress will welcome their son or daughter in March or April.

The future king posed with his dearest family in the new snap and our hearts just can’t handle how happy they all look.

Charles is sat beside wife Camilla Parker Bowles for the portrait. A cheeky Princess Charlotte is sat next to Camilla and Prince George is sat on his grandfather’s lap.

Just look at Charlotte’s cheeky grin, you can tell the princess is full of mischief.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge smile brightly and Kate holds their youngest child Prince Louis in her arms.

Harry and Meghan also joined their family for the occasion and the newlyweds are glowing.

A second snap of the family shows off their goofier side as they laugh at the camera. The candid moment is a breath of fresh air. It really is so sweet to see the royals acting natural and having fun as a family.

Prince William recently admitted that he would love for his dad to spend more time with his three children- Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis- so there’s no doubt the dad was thrilled when the family got together to take Charles’ special portrait.

There’s no doubt Charles will celebrate his birthday in the most lavish way with his family. He’ll certainly have a party fit for a king.

Talk about relationship goals, am I right?

We’re sure Pippa’s sister the Duchess of Cambridge has been sharing plenty of advice with her sibling ahead of her son's arrival. There's no doubt the the mum-of-three has plenty of tips and tricks up her sleeve that will help her little sister sail through motherhood.

Pippa and James have yet to share their baby’s name with the public, but there’s no doubt the pair chose a perfect one for their first born.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made their first public appearance since announcing their joyous pregnancy news yesterday.

The couple are currently on tour in Australia. Meghan and Harry greeted the public in Sydney on their first day of royal engagements.

The Duke is Sussex seemed quite moved when he delivered a speech during their first day in Sydney.

Harry gushed about the public’s reaction to their pregnancy announcement.

“We genuinely couldn't think of a better place to announce the upcoming…err…baby," he shared.

The couple were welcomed by the Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove and Lady Cosgrove at Admiralty House, Kirribilli to mark the beginning of their royal visit.

They even gave Meghan a toy koala. The Duchess told them that she would put it ‘in the nursery.’

Kensington Palace confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be welcoming their first child into the world in the spring of 2019.

The lovebirds told the royal family their huge news at Princess Eugenie’s wedding on Friday, October 12.

Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to be “delighted for the couple”.

Mere hours have passed since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were expecting their first child together, and the bookies already have a list of the top names for their baby.

The couple has yet to confirm whether they are expecting a boy or girl, and more than likely won’t because it doesn’t follow royal tradition, but that hasn’t stopped the betting houses from conjuring up a list of potential names for the parents-to-be.

Harry and Meghan will be welcoming their bundle of joy into the world in the Spring of 2019, but the couple won’t have to be as strict when it comes to their newborn’s title.

Alexander, Arthur and Philip are amongst the top names for a baby boy, which come as no surprise. The royals tend to pick from a list of traditional, family names.

Other potential options include Nicholas at 10/1, Alfred at 6/1, James at 50/1 and Thomas, after Meghan’s dad.

If the Duke and Duchess welcome a baby girl in the new year the odds of naming her Alice and Victoria are exceptionally high.

Obviously, many people hope Harry will honour his late-mum Princes Diana by naming their daughter after her. Isabella is currently at 6/1, followed by 12/1 Eleanor and Rachel at 25/1.

Who knows what name Harry and Meghan will choose for their first child, but there’s no doubt it’ll be traditional.

We do hope they honour Diana in some way. There’s no doubt his mum would be overjoyed to hear her son’s incredible news on this special day.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been one of the most talked about couples of the year. The royals have been on the cover of every newspaper and magazine across the globe. Their wedding was watched by billions and their public engagements draw thousands to the streets.

This summer, the stunning duo took some time away from the spotlight, along with the rest of the royal family. During the month of August, Queen Elizabeth and co. tend to take a step back from their duties.

We must admit we've missed seeing snaps of the couple on our Instagram feeds, but fear not, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their welcome return to the spotlight at a charity event.

Harry and Meghan attended a gala performance of Hamilton last night. The special event was held to raise awareness and funds for children’s charity Sentebale.

Prince Harry established the children’s charity alongside Prince Seeiso. The charity gives hope and works with children and young people affected by HIV in southern Africa.

After the show, Prince Harry took to the stage with the cast of Hamilton and the creator of the musical Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The Duke delivered an impassioned speech about how the money they raised will help ill children, but before doing so he broke into song.

The audience cheered as Harry briefly sang  a snippet of You’ll Be Back from the musical.

It’s evident that the prince is a huge fan of the show. Meghan even told one of the cast members that Harry never stops singing the songs from the popular musical.

Maybe the Duke of Sussex could have a future in musical theatre? Who knows.
