The dress from Givenchy, the same fashion house that designed Meghan’s wedding gown, the BBC reported.

The queen, 92, wore a lime green Stewart Parvin coat over a floral dress, with a matching green hat.

The Lord-Lieutenant of Cheshire, David Briggs, greeted Meghan by saying: “Welcome to Cheshire. I understand this is your first visit to northern England.”

The Los Angeles native replied, “That’s right. Yes.”

Meghan and the queen were photographed giggling and whispering while watching a children’s performance at the opening of a bridge.

According to the BBC, Meghan “seemed like a natural in her new royal role and looked genuinely happy as she stopped to chat and shake hands with those assembled.”

Meghan married the queen’s grandson, Prince Harry, in a star-studded ceremony on May 19.
