Police were forced to intervene when crowds swarmed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Range Rover and blocked their exit during a charity outing in Nottingham, England, on Thursday, Page Six reported.
What happened
The Sussexes attended an acting workshop at the Community Recording Studio and later met members of the Hubb Community Kitchen at the Himmah Hub food bank. Their final stop was at Epic Partners on Edale Road, a children’s charity. As they attempted to leave, onlookers gathered around the vehicle, preventing it from moving. Police instructed the crowd to "tuck in" and "keep shuffling back" before breaking up the mob.
What the reports add
According to a royal correspondent for Hello! Magazine, who was present, police had to physically separate the crowd from the Range Rover. Page Six also noted that police were positioned around the charity premises throughout the visit. The outlet did not receive a comment from Nottinghamshire Police despite reaching out for comment.
What was said
The Hello! Magazine correspondent, cited by Page Six, said officers told the crowd to "tuck in" and "keep shuffling back" as they worked to clear the area.
How it came about
This outing marked the couple's first joint official engagement since returning to the United Kingdom in August, following their move from California. Earlier Felo News coverage documented their return to the UK, their private‑citizen status, and prior public appearances, including a pub visit in Oxfordshire and a countryside walk shared on social media ahead of the Nottingham trip.
