Harry and Meghan make first joint UK appearance since return

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 03:08 · Archive

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are carrying out their first joint public engagements since their return to the UK, visiting Nottingham on Thursday. They will visit the Community Recording Studio, the Himmah Hub food poverty action group, and Epic Partners, which supports young people through sports and mentoring.

Although the high-profile events are not official royal engagements, they are expected to resemble such occasions. A letter from the King's office last month clarified that the Sussexes remain 'private citizens' rather than working royals. The couple, who left the working monarchy in 2020, set up home in England in August after six years in the United States.

A source told The Telegraph that Meghan's public appearances will be 'relatively rare' as the duchess focuses on her children, her As Ever lifestyle brand and rebooting her acting career. 'She's reading a lot of scripts at the moment,' the source said. The source added that Harry and Meghan have 'different professional priorities', with Harry prioritising his philanthropic work and public service. Meghan's last UK public appearance was at the late Queen's funeral in 2022.
