Meghan Markle has made a sweet nod to Prince Archie, just as the Duchess of Sussex ended her professional separation from Prince Harry.
The mother-of-two and her husband, the Duke of Sussex, have made their first joint appearance as a couple since their Colombia tour in August.
The duke and duchess appeared in a video message at the inaugural Global Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children in Colombia.
The couple both wore blazers with poppy pins fastened on their lapels in the clip about online violence against children, a cause deeply important to the Sussexes.

Meghan, 43, made a sweet nod to her eldest child, Prince Archie, five, during the video appearance.
She wore a £1,645 Ralph Lauren blazer, which was first spotted in 2019 when the duchess was pregnant with Prince Archie.
The former Suits actress wore the blazer over a black t-shirt, completing the ensemble with a natural make-up look, and her hair worn down in loose waves.
Prince Harry opted for a traditional poppy, which he pinned onto the lapel of his black blazer, worn over a white shirt.

After their two-minute speech, they shared a sweet moment as Harry affectionately wrapped his arm around Meghan.
The duke and duchess called for greater protection for “the most vulnerable in our world” against the threat of digital violence and harm.
Their last official appearance together was in August, when Harry and Meghan embarked on a four-day tour of the South American country.
The new video message appears to have been filmed in California, where the Sussexes reside with their children, Archie and Lilibet.

Harry opened their address at the inaugural ministerial conference on “ending violence against children” by saying: “We are at a crossroads where the urgency to reassess and redefine our approach to protecting children has become increasingly evident.
“While the necessity has always been apparent, it is now time to translate that awareness into meaningful action.”
Meghan added that while “greater connectivity and advanced technology” have obvious advantages, they also “compel us to better understand how digital violence against children is manifesting itself” in 2024.
