Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were snapped sharing a touchingly intimate moment during a visit to Cardiff Castle today.

Harry, 35, was caught on camera as he whispered a few words in his fiancée's ear, eliciting a coy smile in response.

The couple, who were delayed in their visit due to a problem with the trains, greeted well-wishers outside the castle before making their way inside for a 90-minute stay.

For the occasion, Meghan chose a pair of black skinny jeans from Welsh brand Hiut Denim, which provided the perfect touch of diplomatic dressing, as did an off-the-shoulder top in Prince of Wales check – a nod to her future father-in-law.

Meghan got a taste of British train travel today – as they were late for an engagement in Cardiff.

The couple left Paddington Station on time at 11.15am on route for Cardiff.

But delays to the GWR train mean they will not arrive into the Welsh capital until well after 2pm – making them at least half an hour late for their third public engagement as a couple.

Besotted Harry, 33, has made a promise to his bride-to-be to undertake visits across the U.K. before their wedding, to give the US-born actress a chance to see the country she will come to call home and meet its people.

Steal Meghan's style in a tie waist coat by Stella McCartney

Meghan Markle has stepped into royal life with ease. She seems to have found her 'uniform' too for engagements, which always includes a coat and boots.

For a visit to Cardiff, she chose to follow the pattern once again, arriving in a long black coat and heeled boots to match that ensured the Suits actress looked super sophisticated.

The coat from the back looks pretty classic, but from the front, this Stella McCartney piece has a statement tie that cinches in the waist and tuxedo style lapels that give it an androgynous feel. It's a cool update on a wardrobe staple. Who doesn't need a black coat after all?

If you want to steal Meghan's style you're in luck. Click through to British retailer Harrods (right) where you can snap this outerwear up now. It's pretty pricey though, so if you're hoping to get a belted style for less, check out our alternatives below.

The couple start their day at historic Cardiff Castle, one of the country’s most important and popular historical sites.

Dating back some 2,000 years, the castle is on the site of what was once a Roman fort.

It passed through the hands of many noble families until 1766, when it was given by marriage to the Bute family, responsible for turning Cardiff into the world’s greatest coal exporting port.

John, the 3rd Marquess of Bute, was by the 1860s reputed to be the richest man in the world.

The castle was eventually given as a gift to the city of Cardiff by the Bute family in 1947.

The first fan waiting to meet them was Jenna Quilter, 18, from, Cregiau, who arrived at 6.30am.

She told the BBC: ‘It’s fascinating that she’s not the typical person you’d expect to become a future duchess and it’s just really interesting to see the public reaction to her,’ she told the BBC.

She added: ‘I’m a big fan of the royals. Mainly the Duchess of Cambridge but I adore Prince Harry.

‘I think Harry and Meghan represent a more modern society and it keeps some of the British traditions alive. I’ve got some roses for Meghan too.’

Abbie Smith, visiting from Louisiana, added: ‘In America this is like a fairytale.

'I think it’s really cool that she’s from the States and gets to experience the Royal lifestyle as well.’

After their walkabout Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, will go inside the castle to hear performances from musicians and poets taking part in a Welsh Cultural Festival.

They will also meet leading sportsmen and women and learn more about organisations working to promote the Welsh language and cultural identity.
