Meghan Markle Resumes UK Public Visits With Prince Harry in Nottingham

Meghan Markle will join Prince Harry for a public visit to three charitable organizations in Nottingham, United Kingdom, as the couple returns to a city linked to their first public appearance after their 2017 engagement. The visit marks Meghan's first UK public engagement with Harry in years after they stepped away from royal duties.

The couple, who left royal engagements in March 2020, are scheduled to visit the Hubb Community Kitchen, Community Recording Studio, and youth project Epic Partners in Nottingham, according to details cited by HELLO!.

A friend of Meghan Markle's said she remains focused on causes she supports and selected Nottingham because of its personal connection to the couple.

"She's up for it," said a friend of Meghan Markle's.

The same source highlighted the significance of the location, noting that the visit combines the couple's return to the UK with a city that previously featured in their public life.

"There's a nice synergy there with them being back in the UK, it being their first engagement as a couple here and their first since they've been back in the UK. Nottingham holds a special place in their hearts," said a friend of Meghan Markle's.

Sources close to the Sussexes told HELLO! that Meghan's priorities currently include her children, her As Ever brand, acting opportunities, and charitable work. The source said her children are older and in school full time.

"Her diary is full. It's the kids, As Ever, acting and then supporting good causes in whatever time she has left over. But she's got a really good team around As Ever, the children are a bit older, they are both in school full time," said a friend of Meghan Markle's.

The friend added that Meghan has more time to consider acting projects after establishing support for her business. The source said she has been reviewing scripts and meeting creative professionals.

"They've got the kids settled. Archie and Lili are really enjoying school. She is able to now stick her head above the parapet a little bit more.

It's a case of having a little bit more time to re-look at her original career, her vocation as an actor. She's looking at loads of acting offers. She's meeting a lot of writers and creatives, and reading a lot of scripts.

If there's anything that stands out as being amazing, then then she'll do it," said a friend of Meghan Markle's.

Meghan previously appeared in the legal drama Suits before leaving acting after her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017. According to HELLO!, her recent UK appearances have included private outings and meetings with friends and public figures.

Harry and Meghan are also awaiting the outcome of a risk assessment by Ravec, the Home Office's Royalty and VIP Executive Committee, regarding enhanced protection arrangements, according to the report.
