After news of their recent 'professional separation' hit global headlines, followers of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's antics have been left wondering when exactly the pair were last seen together.
The question comes after weeks of solo public appearances having been made by the pair, which initially sparked concern over the status of their marriage.
If you're out of the loop with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's recent relationship rumours, speculation first kicked off at the end of the summer.

Back in September, Los Angeles locals were surprised to see mum-of-two Meghan, 43, enjoying a night on the town without Harry, despite the couple living together with their two children - Archie, five, and Lilibet, three - in Montecito.
The former actress rocked up to the launch event of her gal pal and colourist Kadi Lee, who'd recently rolled out her own line of hair care products.
The Duchess opted not to shy away from the cameras throughout the duration of the evening, pointedly joining in on the fun whilst enjoying her one-man night out.
Eyebrows were further raised when Harry attended a Canadian Football event in Vancouver - where he promoted his upcoming Invictus Games, having rocked up on his lonesome.
Fans were confused when Meghan was nowhere to be seen - despite having lived in the area whilst filming Suits - with 40-year-old Harry confirming that she'd made the decision to remain at home in California with their children.
Putting two and two together, one royal insider explained that the decision to remain somewhat estranged in the view of the public was conscious, and that their 'professional separation' served as a means of focussing on their own passions.
"Harry and Meghan have consistently pursued solo ventures in connection with their individual interests," the anonymous source told Hello! last week. "But remain deeply committed to their joint efforts through Archewell [their joint charity, formed in 2020]. Together they have exciting projects in the pipeline, all driving forward their shared mission for positive global impact."
As we say, however, the news has left followers of the royal couple to wonder when the duo last enjoyed a night out in the spotlight together.
Let's just say, you might have to cast your minds super far back to recall...
That's because their last in-person outing actually took place on 18 August - 10 days after they returned home from a joint charity trip to Colombia.
In November, despite not actually being seen out and about together, the pair sent a joint message to the United Nations about ending violence against children in South America.
Despite their commendable intentions, the video accumulated a different sort of attention than expected, with many viewers claiming subtle hints in their expression were actually quite damning.
By the sounds of things, the couple's separate professional endeavours will continue in the coming weeks.
Today, Harry is expected to appear at the New York Times DealBook Conference, where he'll chat to journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin, whilst Meghan will attend the 2024 Paley Honors Fall Gala in Beverly Hills, where her producer pal Tyler Perry will receive an award.
