  "account": "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their first joint public appearance since returning to the United Kingdom in August on Thursday. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, aged 42 and 45 respectively, were greeted with cheers upon their arrival in Nottingham, the central city. They chatted and joked with well-wishers during their visit, which included touring three charities that focus on supporting young people and local communities through various means such as music, film, sport, and tackling food poverty. The royal couple, formerly known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, spent the day visiting different locations where they engaged with the public, posing for selfies, hugging members of the crowd, and accepting flowers. Their decision to return to the UK, along with their two children Archie and Lilibet, came as a surprise in August, six years after they had left the country and resigned from their royal duties in 2020 due to a significant rift with the rest of the royal family. The King, in a letter released last month, clarified that the couple's status now resembles that of private citizens rather than public figures and emphasized that they should not be addressed as His and Her Royal Highnesses. The couple's return to the UK has sparked a debate over their role and the extent to which they can pursue commercial ventures while maintaining their royal status.",
