MEGHAN Markle appeared in a second outfit - and had her second public kiss of the day - as Prince William pecked Harry's fiance after a Maori greeting at an Anzac Day service.

Earlier at the New Zealand war memorial in Hyde Park Corner Meghan and Harry had participated in the Maori "kiss of life" with Te Ataraiti Waretini from Ngati Ranana of the London Maori Club.
There Meghan was praised for her ease with the traditional hongi - the soft pressing of noses and the sharing of each other's breath.
Just hours later - with Meghan now dressed in a smart black matching jacket and skirt - they joined Prince William in attending a second service at Westminster Abbey on the national day of Remembrance.
Prince William was appearing just two days after the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to their a baby boy - who is due to be named later today.

Other Maori cultural elements during the Anzac Day dawn service had included a haka performance, a longer version of the one displayed by the famous New Zealand rugby team the All Blacks before matches.
Ms Waretini said of Meghan: "She was amazing. I'm not sure if it's her first time at a Maori ceremony but she did very very well.
"It was really lovely to meet her and share the breath of life and share our culture with her and Harry."
Harry, a former army officer who served for 10 years in the forces, laid his floral wreath at one of a group of metal crosses near Wellington Arch in Central London.

A handwritten note from the prince, attached to a wreath of red roses, read: "For all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in pursuit of our freedom. Thank you. Harry".
Meghan, 36, wore a grey coat, black hat and heels, as the couple sang hymns including Abide With Me.
It was the US actress' first official remembrance service ahead of the couple's royal wedding on May 19.

Anzac Day has been commemorated in London since the first anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli in 1916, when King George V attended a service at Westminster Abbey and more than 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops marched through the streets.
In both countries the day is a public holiday, commemorated with ceremonies held at various locations.
The service began at the New Zealand memorial and included readings, the Last Post, silence, reveille and national anthems, before the couple moved to the granite Australian memorial.
