The royal couple visited Nottingham, the city linked to the legend of Robin Hood (it's funny, The Duchess of Cambridge had just visited the Robin Hood Primary School!).
  
They were welcomed by a thousand of people who were waiting for them outside. Meghan was very natural and friendly, shaking hands and holding flowers and cards from the public. She said: "I can't believe it. I've been made so welcome and I can't believe it."

It was freezing in Nottingham that morning (1°C). London was full of snow as well. Anna shared a beautiful picture of The City this week. It was such a Christmas and welcoming atmosphere!

First, they visited Terrence Higgins Trust, where they met representatives of organizations supporting people living with HIV/AIDS. They said: "In front of the world's media the couple first Royal official engagement will shine a light on people living well with HIV to mark the World AIDS Day in Nottingham." I totally agree.

1,000 young women are infected with HIV every day. Prince Harry is very active in this field. The day before, he met with a representer of Sentebale, the charity founded by the Prince with Prince Seeiso and which helps those children victims of Botswana and Lesotho's HIV/AIDS epidemic.
