Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle greets the guest with all the grace and ease of a Duchess – as does her mother Doria Ragland.
Prince Harry, however, seems to become momentarily flustered and ends up performing an awkward air kiss and hug.
Prince Harry leans down to perform the air kiss on each cheek not once, but a hilariously awkward three times, as his wife laughs at the complete hash he makes of the situation.
The guest was invited to Kensington Palace to celebrate the publication of ‘Together: Our Community Cookbook’, which features which features a range of diverse recipes by women affected by the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017.
The Duchess of Sussex has supported the launch of the cookbook, even helping to prepare lunch for the guests.
Meghan spoke about how privileged she feels to know the women as she addressed them in a speech prior to the lunch.
Prince Harry and her mother can be seen grinning at Meghan as she gave the speech.
The Duchess said: “I had just recently moved to London and I felt so immediately embraced by the women of the kitchen.
“Your warmth and your kindness, and also to be in this city and see in this one small room how multicultural it was.”
She added: “I’m so privileged to know you. I’m so excited to see the projects that you are going to continue to do in your own community, the community at large and also how you are going to inspire people globally by sharing your stories and your recipes.
“It’s so impactful. We can see just in a few days alone, and the book is not even out yet, what you have been able to do.
“That’s a testament to what this means to people and I am so proud of you.
The royal couple sat down with the women and their guests to enjoy the food.
Meghan helped to prepare some of the food with the women from the local community, including the Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre and the book’s publishers.
The Duchess wore a black knitted body, £98, from Tuxe, a label she has previously worn on royal engagements.
She paired this with a black pleated skirt from Misha Nonoo. The Saturday skirt costs £188 and is currently still in stock – although will be sure to sell out soon.
The most striking element of Meghan’s look was her blue coat, which was from Canadian brand SMYTHE, and costs an eye-watering £1,186
