Harry and Meghan make first joint UK appearance since quitting royal life
Harry and Meghan make their first joint UK visit to Nottingham charities since moving to California.
Harry and Meghan are making their first joint public visit to the UK since returning from California, where they have lived for six years. The couple are visiting three charities in Nottingham, the location of their first joint appearance after announcing their engagement in 2017.
The trip includes visits to a recording studio for young people, a food bank, and a mentoring program. The day's events include an announcement mentioning Harry and Meghan's titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
King Charles has made clear the couple remain non-working royals. A palace letter stressed their charity work must be done as private citizens, not as royals.
Some officials worry their celebrity status could turn them into a rival royal court.
