LONDON — Actress Meghan Markle has joined her fiance, Prince Harry, to attend the royal family’s pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace.

Queen Elizabeth II traditionally hosts a festive lunch for the family before leaving for her private Sandringham Estate in Scotland, where she spends her holidays.

Press photos show Harry’s car arriving at the palace Wednesday afternoon for the event. Harry, 33, was driving, with 36-year-old Markle in the passenger seat by his side.

The couple announced their engagement last month, saying they had met through a mutual friend in 2016. They will be married on May 19 at Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel in a highly-anticipated royal wedding.
