The former 'Suits' actress - who is set to marry Prince Harry at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19 - was spotted in the VFS Global UK Visa Application Centre in Chicago on Thursday (12.04.18).

Meghan, 36, was seen sporting dark shades and a White Sox baseball cap as she made a ten-minute appearance at the Application Centre, according to TMZ.

The bride-to-be was given police protection as she made her way through O'Hare International Airport, and she's expected to return home to the UK on Sunday (15.04.18).

Meanwhile, Meghan - who is currently going through the process of becoming a British citizen - and Prince Harry are both reportedly being lined up for cameo appearances in the Australian soap 'Neighbours'.

Bosses of the popular show - which also has a significant following in the UK - wants the royal couple to star on the programme later in 2018.

A source recently explained: "Interest in the Royal Family is huge in Australia, so getting a young royal on board is a top priority.

"Harry's Invictus Games is in Sydney in October so it would be easy for him to visit Melbourne for a role. And if his fiancee Meghan Markle joins him, they would want her too."

The report emerged shortly after British musician Craig David revealed he'd love to perform at their upcoming wedding.

The 'Walking Away' hitmaker said: "Listen, if I got invited to witness one of the most biggest talking points of modern history when it comes to the royal family, it would be amazing to be there.

"It's a beautiful couple, and it's great to see they found love and I just feel like it's going to grow because there's a generation who are going to discover the royal family in a slightly different way - I think this is a really good time for Meghan and for Harry."
