Meghan, who married the monarch's grandson in a
glittering ceremony at her Windsor Castle home last month,
travelled by the Royal Train to northwest England for a day of
events.
The queen, 92 and Meghan, 36, will first officially open the
Mersey Gateway Bridge, a new toll bridge over the River Mersey
and one of the UK's biggest infrastructure projects in recent
years.
The pair were greeted by schoolchildren who waved Union flags
and cheered.
Meghan, a former American actress and star of the TV drama
"Suits", wore a cream caped dress whilst the queen appeared in a
lime green ensemble.
In Chester the pair will open the Storyhouse, a library, theatre
and cinema complex, and watch a dance performance and listen to
songs performed by local schoolchildren before having lunch at
the town hall.
