Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their first official joint outing since returning to the United Kingdom.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out in Nottingham around 10:35 a.m. Thursday, with Markle telling one well-wisher that “it’s great to be back.”

The city is where the pair made their first appearance after announcing their engagement in 2017 — with another fan reminding Markle and Harry with a throwback photo.

“That’s so special,” the “Suits” alum, who was also gifted a bouquet and a balloon, replied.

The actress wore a maroon coat, a matching top, a purple skirt and pumps for the walkabout outside Community Recording Studio.

Her husband, for his part, paired a gray suit jacket and white button-down shirt with jeans.

Page Six reported the duo’s planned outing in the sentimental location over the weekend.

Harry and Markle’s agenda for Thursday, which People previously broke down, included watching an acting workshop led by André Squire at the Community Recording Studio, an organization helping young people affected by violence.

The pair are also meeting with Hubb Community Kitchen members at the Himmah Hub food bank as their second stop.

Additionally, Markle, 45, and Harry, 42, will visit Epic Partners, which supports youth with sports and mentorship.

The couple has been back in England with their two children — Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5 — since August.

Before their move, the family of four lived in a $14 million mansion in Montecito, California, where they moved in 2020.

They have since settled in the Cotswolds — but made exclusively solo outings until a romantic pub date last week.

On Oct. 1, the retired royals were photographed holding hands as they walked to the Falkland Arms for lunch.

Before that joint outing, Harry made a slew of appearances, from the Invictus Spirit Gala to a rugby game.

Markle, for her part, was spotted having tea at the members-only retreat Soho Farmhouse in September, then went pubbing with Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi at the Three Horseshoes later that same month.

Archie and Lilibet, meanwhile, have stayed out of the spotlight while attending private school — and switching from one to another after only two days due to security concerns.

Harry confirmed during a recent CTV interview that the little ones are “happy” where they are.

As for the “British things” his children have been enjoying since relocating, the former military helicopter pilot told Hello! magazine the siblings “very much like” going on “lots of walks” and eating Marmite on crumpets.
