On the day of their wedding back in May, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were given the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex by the Queen. (William and Kate, of course, were made Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their wedding day in 2011.) And it has taken almost five months for the pair to check out “their” territory themselves, as the couple is visiting Sussex for the first time on Wednesday.
Harry reportedly gave a high-five to a child who said he was missing a Latin test that morning in coming to see him (he did reiterate that “education is very important”).
The pair had a busy day scheduled, as they looked at the Sussex copy of the American Declaration of Independence and visited both an animation workshop and a rehearsal of a university orchestra.
Meghan wore a cream coat made by Armani for the day trip, with a dark green shirt (by & Other Stories) paired with a green leather pencil skirt (by Hugo Boss). She stuck with the green theme with her bag, the “Nina” by Gabriela Hearst.
