PRINCE HARRY & MEGHAN “SPARKLE” IN NOTTINGHAM

Hundreds of people lined the streets today to greet Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their first joint Royal public engagement in Nottingham.

The happy crowd were excited to meet the couple who mingled with as many people as they could, starting off together, but when Meghan’s name was called, not wanting to miss anyone out, she went straight over, and continued greeting all of the other well-wishers along the line.  The couple then intermittently re-joined each other with a light stroke of the back or arm and then went off again greeting the happy crowd, working seemlessly together as a team, (whether together or separately.)

Nottingham is said to hold particularly fond memories for Prince Harry with his previous Royal engagements, and the lovely crowd certainly seemed to have acknowledged this, and quickly took beautiful Meghan to their hearts.

The visit hopes to raise awareness of HIV/Aids and efforts to tackle youth crime.

When interviewed, the crowd said “We love Prince Harry, he is so down to earth,” and “We just want him to be happy”, plus also “His girlfriend is so beautiful.”

Prince Harry and his fiancee, Meghan Markle, received a rapturous welcome from the people of Nottingham as they began their public life together.

Just a few days after announcing their engagement, the couple were carrying out their first joint royal engagement.

The visit aims to raise awareness of HIV/Aids and efforts to tackle youth crime but it also gave the prince the opportunity to showcase his partner to the nation.

Harry chose Nottingham, a city he knows well, for their first walkabout, a mainstay of royal engagements.

The couple, who arrived by train, began their tour with a civic welcome at the National Justice Museum in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market district.

Ahead of their arrival, hundreds of curious and excited onlookers had packed the streets, including avid fan Irene Hardman.
