Pause the baby countdown, because Prince Harry just stepped out to Anzac Day services with Kate Middleton—so Meghan Markle probably isn't super close to giving birth. (Or else we think doting dad Henry would be right by her side, camera at the ready.)

The in-laws rolled up to Westminster Abbey together looking like ol' chums (see ya, William-Harry feud rumors!) for the solemn occasion, which is a national day of remembrance for Australia and New Zealand honoring the armed forces landing at Gallipoli during World War I.

Middleton wore a teal Catherine Walker coatdress and Rosie Olivia hat with feathers, while soon-to-be dad Harry wore a navy suit and his military medals.

Prince William wasn't in attendance at the service due to his two-day visit to New Zealand to honor fallen soldiers. His trip began in Auckland, then continued to Christchurch, where he meets with survivors, first responders and Muslim community leaders impacted by the devastating mosque terrorist attack that occurred on March 15.

The @SussexRoyal Insta account posted an update about the Duke of Sussex's appearance, and highlighted Harry's work in the military.

"Having devoted ten years of service to military duty, including two tours in Afghanistan, The Duke completed his time of service with four weeks with the Australian Defence Force," the caption read.

"Anzac Day has been observed annually in London since King George V attended a service at Westminster Abbey, and more than 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops marched through the streets," it continued. "Members of The Royal Family have continued to honour the servicemen and women globally, and today HRH The Duke of Cambridge also paid his respects at @AucklandMuseum."

The post also showcased a photo of Meghan and Harry at last year's services (before they were married) and their attendance of the Anzac memorial in Sydney during their Royal Tour of Oceania last fall (scroll through the Instagram slideshow above to see all the images).

Yes, these few glimpses of the duchess will have to suffice while she nests at home waiting to give birth to baby Sussex (but, like, hurry up already!).
