Overview
- The Sussexes will carry out a three-stop charity visit in Nottingham on Thursday, visiting the Community Recording Studio, the Himmah Hub and Epic Partners.
- Buckingham Palace authorised a letter that reaffirmed Harry and Meghan’s status as private citizens, and the couple’s access to taxpayer-funded UK security remains unresolved while a Home Office review continues.
- Plans for a public walkabout were abandoned over fears of hostile reception or low turnout, and the outing will be smaller in scale with no road closures or large crowds.
- Prince William and Princess Kate have ramped up joint working engagements and are reported to be planning official visits to India around the sixth Earthshot awards, a contrast to the Sussexes’ non-official schedule.
- Reporters say the Sussexes are likely to spend the holidays in California with Meghan’s mother as Meghan focuses on family, her lifestyle business and selective public work, and practical issues such as schooling and security shape their UK plans.
