Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will make their first joint appearance at an event held by HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust.
The British royal made global headlines yesterday when he announced his engagement to Ms Markle, an actress best known for appearing in US TV show Suits.
However, she will be leaving the Hollywood life behind her ahead of the pair’s wedding, and taking up royal engagements alongside her fiance.
Kensington Palace confirmed today that the pair will make their first joint appearance at a royal engagement on Friday, which is World AIDS Day.
The pair will attend an event in Nottingham run by Terrence Higgins Trust.
The palace said: “Prince Harry and Ms Markle will undertake their first official engagements together in Nottingham this Friday.
“Prince Harry is looking forward to introducing Ms Markle to a community that has become very special to him.
“They will visit a Terrence Higgins Trust #WorldAIDSDay charity fair where they will meet representatives of organisations supporting people living with HIV/AIDS.”
Ian Green, CEO, Terrence Higgins Trust, told PinkNews: ‘We’re delighted to welcome Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Nottingham Contemporary this Friday, for a #SeeRed event to mark World AIDS Day.”
He added: “We’re really looking forward to introducing both him and Meghan to some wonderful individuals and groups who help to combat HIV stigma in the UK.”
