The Duchess of Sussex has been moved to tears during a second Commonwealth Day service attended by the Royal Family on Monday.

Hello! reports that Meghan, 37, teared up as she sat listening to an acapella performance of Snow Patrol's 'Run' by singer Alfie Boe.

The Duchess was sitting next to Prince Harry during the service, which is attended by the royals every year.

The 2019 event is particularly significant as it marks the 70th anniversary of the modern Commonwealth.

Also in attendance were the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, with the two duchesses greeting each other warmly ahead of the service.

In addition to Alfie Boe, Clean Bandit also performed.

The service, celebrating Queen Elizabeth's lifetime commitment to the Commonwealth, was broadcast live on BBC One and the BBC World Service.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will soon move to Frogmore Cottage at Windsor in preparation for the arrival of their first child in late April.
