A trip filled with memories and social commitments
Prince Harry returned to Nottingham as part of his longest stay in the United Kingdom since Elizabeth II’s passing. The English city has always held a prominent place in his schedule, due to the ties he forged in his previous official commitments. During his time in the city, the duke appeared approachable and very interested in the stories of young people.
Throughout his stay, he spent time with local associations that work in neighborhoods affected by violence. He visited the Community Recording Studio and the organization Epic Partners, organizations with which he has kept a relationship since 2014. There, he met with young beneficiaries of various integration and creativity programs.
Harry enjoyed musical and comedic performances organized by the boys and girls of the community. He also participated in a roundtable with local leaders and the area’s police and crime commissioner. The atmosphere was one of hope and recognition for the work of those who dedicate their time to improving the lives of others.
