Meghan and Harry will make first joint public appearance since moving back to UK with three pseudo-royal engagements in Nottingham
Developing story first seen 4 hours ago
Meghan and Harry made their first joint public appearance in Britain since returning to live in the UK six weeks ago, carrying out three charity visits in Nottingham. The outing drew around 100 people and comes after King Charles described the couple as private citizens, underlining the distinction between their activities and official royal engagements.
The couple greeted well-wishers, posed for selfies and received flowers and balloons; Meghan said it was “great to be back”. Their visits included a community food project set up after the Grenfell Tower tragedy and a recording studio where Meghan was due to join an acting workshop. Nottingham was the site of their first joint royal engagement in 2017, and the King and Queen were carrying out official duties in Cardiff on the same day.

Meghan and Harry are members of the British royal family who stepped back from official royal duties in 2020 and later moved to the United States. Since then, they have carried out charitable work and made occasional public visits in Britain.
Nottingham is a city in the English Midlands, and the couple’s first joint royal walkabout took place there in 2017. Their visit involved local organisations supporting people facing hardship and young people developing creative skills; such appearances can draw attention to the charities and the issues they work on.
