LONDON (CBSMiami) -- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their first public appearance as newlyweds Tuesday.

The couple attended Prince Charles' 70th birthday celebration at Buckingham Palace, even though the heir to the throne doesn't officially turn 70 until November.

The royal family likes to celebrate early and often and it is expected more celebrations will be planned over the next few months.
