Meghan was dressed for the elements in a thick puffer jacket and and black jeans with a coordinating hat and chunky wool scarf to guard against the chills but she was so absorbed in the proceedings that she didn’t appear to mind the cold and didn’t even bother wearing gloves.

Pictures from the day show her leaning over filming presumably Harry’s daring stunt and the couple were seen walking hand in hand after the race.

The outing comes as the row over their use of their royal title and surname for their rebranded website sussex.com.

Typically the use of a royal title for commercial gain is forbidden.

One insider spoke out as the website was unveiled saying ‘They are going to have real trouble with the use of Sussex. It’s a royal title and if there is any hint of commercialism about this it will be shut down. It’s just staggering they cannot see how gauche it is,’ to The Daily Mail.

A representative for the couple argued back that Sussex is the Meghan and Harry’s surname.
