Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Make First Joint Public Appearance in U.K.

Now, just about a decade later, as People reported, when one woman in the waiting crowd showed Meghan a photograph from that 2017 visit, the Suits alum replied, “That’s so special.”

Since their late August move back to the U.K., Harry and Meghan have kept a relatively low profile as they’ve readjusted to life back across the pond, which marks an extended but temporary stay in England. 

But while the public may not have seen the couple, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been busy settling into their new lives—including enrolling Archie and Lilibet in local school.

As Harry told HELLO! Magazine in an interview published Sept. 18, “The last two weeks have been—it’s been eventful. We’re getting stuck into the work. Kids are in school. We’re happy.”

Nevertheless, the 41-year-old “it’s wonderful to be back on British soil,” especially when it comes to his charity, the Invictus Games, adding it’s “really nice to see so many old faces and friends.”

And while Harry and Meghan have marked their first official outing back in the U.K., that doesn’t mean they’ve stepped back into their roles as senior royals—duties they stepped back from when they relocated to California in 2020.

As King Charles, through Lord Chamberlain Richard Benyon, noted upon Harry and Meghan’s return, the move created “no change to the current status of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

“The charitable work of the Duke and Duchess is a personal matter for them both and undertaken in their private capacity,” the Sept. 7 statement continued. “In short, their position is akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.”

But as Harry and Meghan replant their roots as a family in the U.K., read on to see some of the couple’s sweetest moments with their kids.
