The Duke of Sussex touched down in his home country at the beginning of this week for a planned visit to attend several charity events. He recently stepped out in Nottingham, a place that holds special significance for him and his wife.
Prince Harry has been making the most of his visit to the U.K. after arriving in his home country on Monday, September 8. The Duke of Sussex recently stepped out in the city of Nottingham, England, on Tuesday, to visit the Community Recording Studio in St. Ann's.

Nottingham holds a special place in Harry's heart. It was there that he and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, carried out their first official joint royal duty just days after announcing their engagement on December 1, 2017.
