Harry and Meghan make first joint UK appearance at Nottingham community charities
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will appear together for the first time since returning to Britain, visiting three Nottingham charities with their children.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embarked on a charity tour in Nottingham, meeting leaders of three organisations that support young people through music, film, sport and food‑security initiatives. The visit is part of a broader strategy to present themselves as "public figures" rather than traditional working royals, a term the palace recently emphasized. Their outreach follows earlier public reactions and comes amid an ongoing disagreement with Buckingham Palace over their royal roles. Their children, Archie and Lilibet, have recently changed schools because of security concerns.
