Britain’s Prince Harry on Friday made his first joint royal visit with
fiance Meghan Markle to mark the World AIDS Day in the city of
Nottingham.
The first official tour as a couple since the fifth in line to
Britain’s throne announced his engagement to the 36-year-old American
actress earlier this week was greeted by large crowds who cheered the
royals.
The couple will spend the day at a World AIDS Day charity fair
organised by the Terrence Higgins Trust and then meet Headteachers of a
local school, Nottingham Academy.
“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in Nottingham for their first
official visit together since announcing their engagement,” Kensington
Palace said in a statement on Friday.
Prince Harry, 33, has spent time in Nottingham both publicly and privately since he first met young people there in 2013, when he was exploring issues around youth violence.
A year later, he established the Full Effect programme, which aims to stop youth violence in the city in the Midlands region of England.
The prince’s communication’s secretary, Jason Knauf, said the prince was looking forward to introducing his 36-year-old bride-to-be to a community that had “become very special to him”.
The couple are due for a May 2018 wedding in Windsor Castle. The exact date is yet to be announced.
In the lead up to the wedding, Markle would not be continuing her work as an actress or on gender with the United Nations and other organisations and instead would start new charity work as a full-time royal. She plans to focus her attention on the UK and Commonwealth.
The foundation is behind Prince Harry’s Invictus Games - the Paralympic-style competition for injured servicemen and women and veterans - and also the mental health charity Heads Together.
It has also been announced that Markle intends to become a British citizen and will work towards it in the coming years.
