On Dec. 1, the newly engaged couple made their first royal appearance in Nottingham, about 125 miles north of London and were greeted by screaming fans in the town center.  In one video, a fan can be overheard asking the prince, “as a ginger” what it’s like to be with someone like Markle and Harry responded, “It’s great, isn’t it? Unbelievable!”

As the couple made their way through the crowd, Markle was handed bouquets of flowers from adoring fans. Markle and Harry’s first stop was Nottingham Contemporary, where they attended an exhibit in honor of World AIDS Day, a cause close to Prince Harry’s heart.
