Meghan Markle received at least one “mazeltov” — from Abigail Morris, Jewish Museum chief executive at a Buckingham Palace party on Tuesday for Prince Charles’s 70th birthday, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex carried out their first post-wedding engagement.
Prince Charles is a patron of the museum and with Ms Morris were intern Charlotte Hafner and Joshua Rocker, maker of a film about the Holocaust survivor featured in the museum, Leon Greenman.
The more than 6,000 guests included representatives from World Jewish Relief and the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, while Jewish Lads and Girls Brigade leaders (below) helped to steward the event and to form a guard of honour for the royal family as part of the Youth United Foundation.
JLGB member Harry Finestone said, " My role at the event was to collect guests’ tickets at the front gate of Buckingham Palace. It was a once in a life time experience as I was able to stand on the inside of the gate of the palace and speak to every single one of the 6,500 people who attended the event.
"Once the gates were closed I was able to join the crowds inside the garden of the palace and hear the newly wedded Price Harry give a speech about his father. I was then asked to stand as a guard of honour for Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall to walk through to return from the Royal Tea Tent back up to the palace."
