The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out for one of their last royal engagements Thursday night at the Mansion House in London.

The event marked the Duchess' first public appearance since the controversial announcement of their decision to step down as senior members of the royal family.

The couple looked quite happy (and photogenic) as they walked their way to the annual Endeavor Fund Awards.

The Endeavor Fund awards honor the determination of wounded, injured, and sick army veterans who took part in sports to recover.

The couple received cheers from onlookers. However, not all were pleased. Amid the tremendous amount of support given to the couple, an onlooker decided to spoil the mood by booing the Duke and Duchess.

The heckler did not faze Meghan who looked glamorous in her turquoise ensemble.

The form-fitting, turquoise T-shirt dress was from former Spice Girls Victoria Beckham's line. The dress, which retails at $1,285, sold out on Victoria Beckham's website.

Meghan paired her dress with navy suede heels from Jimmy Choo and gold earrings. She was also seen carrying a clutch by Stella McCartney.

Prince Harry opted for a simple blue suit and tie ensemble for the occasion.

Will You Marry Me?

During the ceremony, Danny Holland, an award recipient, proposed to his girlfriend onstage. Suffice to say, the royals were not expecting that.

And The Winners Are...

The awards ceremony was full of glitz and glamor as the foundation gave away four awards.

  • Recognising Achievement Award is awarded to the person who best utilised and promoted their road to recovery
  • Celebrating Excellence Award is given to those who achieved excellence in their sport of choice
  • Henry Worsley Award is given to a person who has inspired and supported other people with their recovery
  • The Community Impact Award is given to a team who made a positive impact in their community

Meghan and Harry presented the Celebrating Excellence Award to Lee Spencer and the Henry Worsley Award to Tom Oates.

The latter was named after a career soldier and adventurer who died attempting to cross the Antarctic landmass unaccompanied in a bid to raise money for the Endeavor Fund.

Former Invictus Games Medallist JJ Chalmers was chosen to host the awards ceremony this year.

Photos from the award event prompted people to call out the couple for "wasting taxpayer money" by choosing to stay at a motel instead of their home in Windsor.

The comments surfaced after the couple was seen leaving The Goring hotel where they had lunch.

An update on the Sussexes website clarified the claims saying the Frogmore Cottage will still be considered their official residence in the UK even after stepping down from senior royal duties.

The website also detailed Meghan and Harry's plans over the next few days. The pair will reportedly attend the Mountbatten Music Festival on March 7. Meghan will also celebrate International Women's Day in an event on March 8.

The pair will be joining the royal family at the Commonwealth Day service on March 9 before beginning a one-year trial of nonroyal life starting April 1.

Move!

After the night of the award, British tabloid Daily Express published an article where the publication claims the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle 'pushed' Prince Harry mid-conversion after the act was "caught on film.''

The moment was captured on video by Rebecca English, a reporter for Daily Mail. She published the video on her Twitter account where it garnered plenty of comments from Twitter users who were eager to share their views.

The footage shows the pair in conversation during the Endeavor Fund Awards.

Do you think she pushed her husband out of the way?
