Meghan Markle made her first public appearance with Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton on Christmas Day 2017. The Queen broke protocol by allowing the then-actress to join the festivities in Sandringham before she was an official member of the royal family.
They were dubbed the "Fab Four" at their first joint engagement for the Heads Together charity campaign.
Markle was pictured laughing alongside her future in-laws at the event in February 2018, just three months before her royal wedding.
They stepped out together again for Commonwealth Day in March that year.
Then, it was time for Harry and Markle's royal wedding in May 2018. William was his brother's best man.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son Prince George was a page boy, while their daughter Princess Charlotte was a flower girl at the ceremony.
Markle and Middleton seemed to bond at the Duchess of Sussex's first ever Trooping the Colour parade in June 2018.
A month later, the couples stood on the Buckingham Palace balcony again to watch a flypast in celebration of 100 years of the RAF.
Markle and Middleton carried out their first joint outing that summer, with a trip to Wimbledon in July.
They chatted with each other at Princess Eugenie's royal wedding in October 2018.
Markle and William — who aren't often photographed together — shared this sweet moment before a Remembrance event.
The "Fab Four" looked chummier than ever at the royal family's Christmas Day celebrations in 2018.
Just three months later, Markle and Middleton greeted each other with a hug at the Commonwealth Day 2019 service.
Harry and Middleton appeared together for a rare joint engagement without their significant others in April 2019.
Markle made her first appearance since giving birth alongside Prince Harry, Middleton, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Prince William (not pictured) at Trooping the Colour that June.
The following month, Markle, Middleton, and their children enjoyed a family day out to watch Harry and William played polo.
The duchesses appeared together again at Wimbledon 2019.
Middleton and William were asked to pose in baby Archie's official christening photo that July — but it would be the last time the couples were photographed together for four months.
They came face to face at a Remembrance event in November 2019, their first event together since Harry admitted in an interview that he and William weren't as close as they used to be.
However, the couples, who were seated away from each other at the event in London's Royal Albert Hall, didn't appear to interact.
In March 2020, they reunited at the Commonwealth Day service. The event marked their first joint engagement since Harry and Markle announced they were taking a step back from the royal family.
Unlike at the previous two Commonwealth Day services, the couples did not attempt to speak to each other here, despite sitting in such close proximity.
The event marked the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's final engagement as working royals, and hence their final engagement with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The photos were a stark contrast to the couples' smiling faces as they walked together for the first time on Christmas Day 2017.
There's no saying what goes on behind closed doors. However, when the dust behind "Megxit" is settled, it's possible the "Fab Four" could reunite one day in a private capacity.
