Harry and Meghan cheered on first UK joint appearance

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, made their first joint public appearance since returning to the UK after moving from California two months ago. The event took place in Nottingham, a city they visited in 2017, nine years prior to their recent return. The couple began their outing by visiting a youth and community charity, which had received a £1.1 million donation from Harry.

Later, they headed to an organization addressing food poverty, to which Meghan contributed £10,000 from sales of a cookbook aimed at raising funds for the Grenfell Tower fire disaster. Their final stop was another charity supporting young people that they had visited during their previous 2017 trip. While their visit to Nottingham was more subdued compared to their surprise return nine years ago, the couple interacted with around 100 enthusiastic schoolchildren and supportive onlookers, including numerous media personnel.

The duchess was heard expressing her delight at being back in the UK, echoing her sentiment from the 2017 visit. However, their return to the UK has not been without challenges. Their new residence remains undisclosed due to security concerns, and their children were transferred to a new school after the security issue. The couple's spokesperson also criticized certain European paparazzi for violating their privacy.
