Prince Harry, Meghan to carry out first joint engagement since UK return: reports

Britain's Prince Harry and wife Meghan will make their first joint appearance since returning to the UK in August, according to media reports. The couple, aged 42 and 45 respectively, visited Nottingham, a city in central England, where they made their first appearance together when they announced their engagement in 2017. This visit signals their determination to be recognized as public figures, a stance that contrasts with the king's recent clarification that they are akin to private citizens and should not be addressed as His and Her Royal Highnesses.

The couple's return to the UK was met with a letter from the king, who made it clear that they should not be given the same status as public figures. Despite their reconciliation with King Charles III, the couple remains estranged from Prince William, Harry's older brother and heir to the throne. The news of their joint engagement comes as they prepare to return to the United States for Christmas, a decision reportedly made due to the lack of invitations from the royal family.
