The Suits actress wowed attendees at the Queen’s annual staff Christmas party and Windsor Castle.

Meghan reportedly met a number of staff at the party, introducing herself with a handshake, according to the Daily Mail.

One party goer said: “She was unbelievably beautiful and Harry looked so proud.”

Another said Meghan was “charm personified” and “held out her hand and said, ‘Hi, I’m Meghan.’”

The paper’s royal reporter Rebecca English said: “It was definitely a surprise to all those attended. And those that did meet her were absolutely blown away by her elegance and confidence. 

“She’s gone down well with the staff, that’s for certain!”

There are no images of Meghan from the event as it is strictly for staff and it a private affair.
