Prince HarryandMeghan Markle‘s royal wedding may have come and gone, but there’s still a lifetime of royal outings ahead of them.
The newDuke and Duchess of Sussexmade their first official appearance as a married couple on Tuesday atPrince Charles‘garden party at Buckingham Palace, which honored Charles’ 70th birthday in addition to his patronages, military affiliations and charities.
So when can we expect to see the newlyweds next?
While they’re still expected to jet off to Namibia for aromantic honeymoon, they’ll likely make their next public appearance on June 9 for the annualTrooping the Colourcelebration in honor ofQueen Elizabeth‘s birthday.

The grand military parade, which takes place in June in hopes of favorable weather (despite the fact that high temperatures often result infainting spellsfor a few unlucky fur-garbed guards!), is a national statement of pageantry to celebrate the British monarch’sofficialbirthday, although the Queen’s actual birth date is April 21.

With more than 1,400 officers, 400 musicians and 200 horses in tow, the Queen is paraded in a carriage from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade across St. James’s Park to inspect her troops, receive a royal salute and take a salute of her own.

It’s likely that he and Meghan will ride together in a carriage behind the Queen. The entire family (including scene-stealingPrince GeorgeandPrincess Charlotte!) will then gather on the historic balcony of Buckingham Palace for the final proceedings – and the day’s biggest photo-op. As military aircraft fly overhead, the Queen can be seen sharing the moment with her husband, children and grandchildren. And this year, Meghan will be there to join them!
Unlike Will and Kate’s royal wedding, Harry and Meghan’s didn’t culminate their nuptials with an iconic kiss on the balcony. Instead, they shared their first public kiss on the steps of St. George’s Chapel. Trooping the Colour (a truly British spectacle, complete with plenty of fascinators!) will mark Meghan’s first appearance on the balcony alongside her new royal family.
For the occasion, Kate wore a netted black fascinator and a chic white double-breasted coat-dress, which she quickly made her signature style.

The event will be the next chance to see how Meghan’s style develops as she becomes more deeply involved with the royal family.
