Sussex is finally getting a visit from its new Duke and Duchess as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle today prepare to head to the county for the first time.

Harry and Meghan became the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their wedding day on 19 May this year.

And today, they are visiting Sussex for the first time and will be making five official engagements throughout the day.

Here’s where Harry and Meghan will be and when so if you’re lucky enough to be in Sussex today, you might be able to sneak a peak at the happy couple:

Engagement 1 – Walkabout and Edes House

Harry and Meghan will first be seen in Sussex at 10.45am as they visit Chichester in West Sussex to greet members of the public.

Those that wish to meet them should head to West Street where Harry and Meghan will do a walkabout before heading to Edes House.

While at Edes House, Their Royal Highnesses will be shown the rare Sussex copy of the American Declaration of Independence, which is one of only two contemporary handwritten ceremonial manuscript copies. The other is situated in the National Archives in Washington D.C.

Engagement 2 – University of Chichester Tech Park

The next stop will be the Bognor Regis campus of the University of Chichester, where Harry and Meghan will be opening the Engineering and Digital Technology Park.

The Technology Park is designed to offer practical experiences alongside local industry.

There, they will meet staff at students at the university and only those invited to the event will be able to gain access.

Engagement 3 – Brighton walkabout and Royal Pavilion

Just after 2pm, Harry and Meghan will greet members of the public again as they arrive in Brighton.

The walkabout will take place at Pavilion Buildings before the Duke and Duchess make their way to the Royal Pavilion.

The Royal Pavilion was built by George, Prince of Wales, who later became the Prince Regent, in the mid 1780s. While there, Harry and Meghan will tour the Pavilion’s rooms and learn more about the building.

Engagement 4 – Survivors’ Network

Next on the agenda is the charity Survivors’ Network, which supports survivors of sexual violence and abuse in Sussex.

Here, they will talk to staff, volunteers and users of the service.

Engagement 5 – JOFF Youth Centre

As the Duke and Duchess then travel further East, their final engagement of the day will be a visit to JOFF Youth Centre in the coastal town of Peacehaven.

The community hub offers a range of positive activities, a ‘chill out’ area and music practice room.

Harry and Meghan will meet young people from youth groups across East Sussex and will listen to their plans for mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Harry and Meghan will embark on their first official overseas trip as a married couple later this month, as they head to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga for two weeks.
