Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed details about their children's school experiences during a visit to Nottingham.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Nottingham yesterday for a series of engagements at youth charities, marking their first joint public appearance since returning to the UK in late August. The couple carried out back-to-back engagements at venues including the Community Recording Studio and Epic Partners, a youth charity offering sports mentorship to children aged four to eighteen.

During the visit, Harry spoke with schoolchildren and revealed that his son Archie, seven, dislikes mathematics. According to The Mirror, Archie had asked whether he could attend a school that 'doesn't do maths' after moving to the UK, only to discover on his first day at his new school that his first class was maths. Meghan spoke about their daughter Lilibet, five, during a bracelet-making workshop, saying she 'loves gymnastics' after a young participant mentioned enjoying the activity.

The couple participated in activities including decorating cupcakes with icing and leading a confidence-building jewellery-making class. The Daily Mail reported that Harry was seen stroking Meghan's ponytail as they sang 'Happy Birthday' to a charity staff member, Michaela Castillo, and that the couple held hands and exchanged tender glances throughout the outing. Archie and Lilibet did not accompany their parents to Nottingham on the school day.
