Yesterday saw Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make their second official royal engagement, this time visiting Reprezent FM in Brixton, south London.

Crowds of well-wishers were awaiting their arrival, with several sharing their reasons for being there with Sky News. One woman, who had brought her children with her, explained that Meghan’s biracial heritage was an inspiration to her, because she was ‘a mixed-race girl becoming a princess in the Royal Family’, while another called Harry ‘a People’s Prince’, mirroring the nickname given to his mother, Princess Diana.

The couple spent half an hour at the radio station talking to presenters and volunteers. It was set up a decade ago to combat rising knife crime in the area and has helped more than 4000 young people gain training in music, radio and media. Indeed, one woman told Sky News: ‘I hope that Prince Harry coming here will help the crime in Brixton, and that he will work with youths here.’

Shortly after the visit, Meghan Markle’s official social media accounts were closed, with Kensington Palace releasing the following statement: ‘Ms Markle is grateful to everyone who has followed her social media accounts over the years, however as she has not used these accounts for some time. She has taken the decision to close them.’

The royal visit comes just over a month after the couple announced their engagement at the beginning of December. They are set to marry on 19 May at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
