Prince Harry, wife Meghan make first joint appearance since UK return

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revisited Nottingham in central England, where they made their maiden joint official engagement nine years ago.

Prince Harry, wife Meghan make first joint appearance since UK return

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan made their first joint appearance since their surprise return to Britain on Thursday. The couple visited the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham, a city they visited nine years ago during their maiden official engagement together. Harry, the younger son of King Charles, and Meghan stunned the royal family and monarch when they moved from California to England two months ago with their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

The couple began their visit by touring a recording studio supported by a £1.1 million donation from Harry last year. Meghan was also reunited with four contributors to a charity cookbook she donated £10,000 from its proceeds to support the Himmah hub, which tackles food poverty. The visit concluded with another charity they backed, which supports young people and ties to their 2017 visit.

Despite their polarizing status among the public, the couple received support from about 100 eager well-wishers and media during their visit.
