Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are today scheduled to arrive in Nottingham to visit three charities. These events mark their first joint appearances since their return to Britain from America in August.
The Significance of Their Visit
There is ongoing discussion in Britain regarding whether these visits will mimic the engagements of the official royals, potentially impacting the monarchy. Despite this, the couple are considered “private citizens” rather than working royals, according to a letter from King Charles III in September.
The Community Recording Studio
Harry and Meghan will visit The Community Recording Studio (CRS), established in 1991. The charity provides young people access to equipment and training in film, video, and music production.
The aim then was stated simply, and has not changed since: help young people develop their skills and get into work. What made it unusual was not the ambition but the access.
Harry last visited in September 2025, emphasizing the charity’s role in counteracting violence in the area.
Nottingham has been a place where I’ve heard harrowing stories, learned important lessons, seen resilience, and felt truly inspired.
He noted ongoing challenges, especially knife crime affecting youth.
Hubb Central Kitchen
Meghan and Harry will also visit the city’s Himmah food bank and meet with members of the Hubb Community Kitchen, volunteers who supported survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire.
The duchess authored Together: Our Community Cookbook, with proceeds benefiting charity.
An apron was quickly wrapped around me, I pushed up my sleeves and I found myself washing the rice for lunch…
Meghan reflected on the community kitchen as a place for cultural connection and empowerment.
In 2022, the group shared a voice message from Meghan marking the anniversary of the Grenfell tragedy.
Visit to Epic Partners
The final stop for Harry and Meghan is Epic Partners, a charity supporting young people through various programs.
Epic Partners is a local charity dedicated to empowering positive change for children and young people in the communities of Nottingham.
Through inclusive programs, the charity aims to address challenges like Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
