Meghan Markle and Prince Harry playfully shush kids as they finally reunite with Royals for first time since Megxit
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry playfully shushed Royal kids today as they finally reunited with the Firm for the first time since Megxit.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex cheekily put their fingers to their lips as they helped entertain the youngest royals during Trooping the Colour.
Harry and Meg, who returned to the UK yesterday, could be seen peering out from a window at the Major General's Office as the military spectacular took place below.
The duke and duchess did not appear with senior royals for today's RAF flypast after they were snubbed by the Queen last month.
The Sussexes were banned from the traditional balcony wave - along with disgraced Prince Andrew - after Her Majesty limited the appearance to only senior working royals.
But the proud parents were all smiles as they watched the celebrations unfold, making time for Zara Tindall's eldest daughter along with the Queen's great-granddaughter Savannah Philips.

Wearing navy with a matching hat for the Jubilee celebrations, Meghan, who travelled from her home in LA, was not seen with her kids Archie, three, and Lilibet, who turns one on Saturday.
She could, however, be seen chatting away with Prince Harry and the Duke of Kent from a window earlier.
Today marks the couple's first public engagement with the Royal Family in two years.
They were given prime seats for the Trooping the Colour - overlooking the Whitehall parade ground from the Major General's Office at Horseguards - where dignitaries traditionally stand when they are not involved.

The Sussexes joined Kate Middleton, who stunned in a white Alexander McQueen dress, as well as Prince Louis, four, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince George, eight.
It's understood the party was also joined by Beatrice and Eugenie and Zara Tindall - although disgraced Prince Andrew was shunned.
A whopping 1,200 officers and soldiers from the Household Division took part in the Queen's Birthday Parade this morning.
And rapturous applause erupted as thousands of royal fans swamped the Union Jack-lined Mall for Trooping the Colour in honour of Her Majesty.
The Cambridges arrived with Camilla in their own carriage earlier today as the jubilant crowd cheered.
Princess Anne and Charles then helped lead the charge along with Prince William as they took to their own horses for the Parade.
It comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex touched down in the UK yesterday, secretly arriving by private jet.
They were picked up by Her Majesty's Range Rover and greeted by three of the Queen’s protection officers.
Bullet-proof cars then took them — plus children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one on Saturday — from Farnborough Airport, Hants, to Frogmore Cottage, Windsor.
Following her appearance on the Palace balcony with working royals such as William, Kate and Camilla, the Queen was expected to have a private lunch at Buckingham Palace with her family.
Later Prince William will join his grandmother in a dual lighting of the Jubilee beacons — separated by 25 miles.
The Queen will symbolically touch on the globe, triggering lights chasing along the Quadrangle towards Windsor Castle’s Round Tower.
It will lead to lighting of a beacon by William at the Queen’s Green Canopy Tree of Trees sculpture outside Buckingham Palace.

After a good rest, it is expected the Queen will join her family including Andrew, Harry and Meghan, at St Paul’s Cathedral for a thanksgiving service in her honour tomorrow.
The ceremony will be followed by a reception at the Guildhall.
