Harry and Meghan were met with a huge crowd upon their arrival in Nottingham. This was their first public engagement as a couple since returning to the UK last August, following six years in the United States and their traumatic break from the Royal Family in 2020.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex received a de facto royal welcome, despite no longer being active members of the House of Windsor: hundreds of people crowded along the cordoned-off road, asking to take selfies and chat with the prince and his wife, who stopped to say hello . "Which class are you giving up to be here?" Harry asked the students present, with whom he discussed their favorite subjects and plans for the upcoming school holidays.
"No social media? Well, that's what we like," King Charles's second son, who is campaigning against underage exposure to social media, then told a small group of children. The crowd gathered outside the Community Recording Studio, a charity that provides a recording studio for the community, with which Harry has a long-standing connection and which he last visited in 2025. The visit includes stops at a number of voluntary organizations.
Last year, the prince personally donated £1.1 million to a BBC Children in Need project supporting young people affected by violence in the city of Nottingham.
