Latest Harry and Meghan: Excited crowds welcome royal couple in Nottingham for first joint visit since returning to UK

Meghan took piles of yellow and white flowers from supporters who had been waiting to see her and Harry.

The couple received balloons, including one in the shape of a unicorn.

The Duke stopped to tell a woman that he liked her light pink jacket and that it was “very nice” to see everyone.

Harry and Meghan were greeted by the chief executive of Community Recording Studio, Trevor Rose, before entering the building.

The crowd cheered excitedly as the couple disappeared from view into the community hub.

A group of school children could be seen talking excitedly to Prince Harry as he made his way to his first engagement of the day.

“What class are you missing for being here?” Harry asks the school students in attendance.

He talked to them about their favorite subjects, and asked what they would do in their school holidays.

Meanwhile, Meghan, wearing a long burgundy coat and with her hair tied back, asked for a photo with two women who showed her a laminated picture.

Crowds could be seen as Prince Harry and Meghan made their way to the Community Recording Studio.

Shouts of “We love you Meghan” could be heard, as well as a number of people asking for photos.

The Duke of Sussex was seen chatting with a group of schoolchildren who also asked the Duchess her son’s age, while another woman presented a laminated photo of Meghan, who appeared visibly upset.

The royal couple arrived at the Community Recording Studio as part of their engagement day in Nottingham.

They are scheduled to spend 90 minutes with the charity, which Prince Harry has previously visited, and learn about its efforts to engage local youth through music.

A small crowd gathered outside the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham to see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex perform together for the first time since returning to the UK.

Some supporters held flowers and balloons as they waited behind a barrier.

Margaret Langdon said the couple coming to Nottingham shows “it’s not all about London” and “small towns are important too”.

The 67-year-old, from the Carlton area of ​​the city, said: “I’m a big fan.

“They came to Nottingham to see us so the least we can do is come out and see them.

“It’s nice to see Meghan because it’s not very often you get a woman of color in that position. So I came out to support her.”

Prince Harry and Meghan are due to make a series of engagements in Nottingham on Thursday, in their first joint appearance in the UK since 2022.

Community Recording Studio in St Ann’s – 10.25am to 11.55am

On their first stop of the day, the pair will visit the Community Recording Studio (CRS) in St Ann’s, a youth and community charity which helps young people access music and recording facilities.

Himmah Hub in Hyson Green – 12.20 to 14.05

They are set to stop at the Himmah Hub for cooking classes and a meal and then to the organization’s food bank, which provides community meals and practical support to those living in poverty.

Epic Partners in Sneinton – 14.25 to 15.15

The last stop of the day is Epic Partners in Sneinton, a charity that supports children, young people and families in St Ann’s and Sneinton.

It was Meghan’s first public outing in London since moving back to the UK, and as the couple sat in deep conversation in the hotel’s Art Deco foyer and reading cafe, another diner uploaded footage of their “private” meet-and-greet to social media.

Meghan was then photographed outside the Mayfair Hotel with Malala as they parted ways – looking resplendent in white Ralph Lauren ‘Clown’ trousers and an oversized camel coat that looked like an extra at a school football play.

Since returning to the UK, Prince Harry and Meghan have been seen on several occasions, either at events or in a private setting.

Last Friday, the Duke of Sussex was seen in the stands at a rugby union match.

Harry saw Leicester Tigers play Gloucester at the Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium in Leicester.

A video shared on Prem Rugby’s X account shows Herzog wearing blue jeans, a dark coat and holding a drink as he sits in the stands.

Photos show Harry, who is a rugby fan, with both hands in the air as he watched the match.

Prince Harry and Meghan are currently waiting to hear if they will receive taxpayer-funded security, with the Duke saying he fears a delay after Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced a review of security measures for the royal family and public figures following the death of Reform UK justice spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe.

The Sussexes pulled their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lili, out of their first British school in September after just two days, as heavy traffic in the area meant their private security team struggled to stay in a convoy during the school run.

Her team then criticized the “extraordinarily reckless” international paparazzi who were seen looking into the pitch and monitoring the children at the youngsters’ new school.
