Meghan Markle Attends Her First Royal Engagement

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their first joint official public engagement earlier today in Nottingham.

The couple were greeted by cheering crowds as they made their way to a Worlds Aids Day charity fair, hosted by the Terrence Higgins Trust.

Prince Harry has previously spent time in Nottingham in 2013 when he was exploring issues around youth violence and met with young people there in 2013. A year later, he established the Full Effect programme, which aims to stop youth violence in the city.

Today, Meghan wore a long navy coat by Mackage ($553) which she paired with black boots. She also carried a navy and burgundy handbag by Strathberry, something the Duchess of Cambridge is rarely pictured doing.

The couple chatted with the crowds, shaking hands and accepting cards of congratulations. They are set to spend the morning  at the fair and then later in the day they will meet with head teachers at a nearby school.
