It’s been a busy week for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess had a host of solo engagements, but finally stepped out together for a day in Bristol on February 1.

The royal parents-to-be attended three engagements on the snowy day in the city. The elements didn’t get in the way of the pair or the eager well-wishers who greeted them upon their arrival. The duo braved the snow (Meghan in style) as they took on the day.

The 34-year-old Duchess and the 37-year-old Prince had a full day. Making visits to the Bristol Old Vic Theatre, One 25, and the Empire Fighting Chance Charity. Scroll through to see the best photos from the day.

A warm welcome on a cold day

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. Before heading in, the royal pair stopped and shared some sweet moments with well-wishers, big and small. The Duke and Duchess spoke with children from the Abbeywood nursery school.

While they were excited to see the kids, the royals wanted to make sure they were warm. At one point, the 34-year-old Prince bent down to ask one little boy if he was keeping warm.

Kitchen Time

No stranger to the kitchen, Meghan was hands on as she and Harry helped pack lunches and clothing that would be distributed to the women working on the streets.

Kind words

The Duchess grabbed a sharpie and wrote positive affirmations on the peels of each banana going in the bag. “I am in charge of banana messaging,” the mommy-to-be said as she wrote on the peels.

Some of the messages read, “You are brave.” and “You are strong.”

A special moment

Prince Harry smiled as he was presented with a special set of gold boxing gloves. Earlier, the Prince, who lost his mother at the age of 12, cleared a room so he could talk to a teen who lost one of his parents. 

“It just got a bit emotional because he mentioned something. He knew some stuff about me and the same thing happened to me,” Iestyn Jones said about his talk with the father-to-be.

“We had a chat for about 10 minutes.“When we had a group picture at the end he made sure I was standing next to him. They were lovely people. I didn’t expect them to be like that. They were amazing people."
