A few minutes later than scheduled, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pull up in a Range Rover on the first stop of their quasi-official, royal-not-royal tour of Nottingham.

TL;DR

- The author contrasts the current visit's small crowd with the large, enthusiastic crowds from their first public appearance in Nottingham nearly nine years prior.
- Public perception of the couple has significantly changed since their initial appearance.
- The article questions the couple's public image and their perceived indecisiveness about their role.
- The Sussexes visited the Community Recording Studio and the Himmah Hub, charities focused on youth development and tackling poverty.
- The author describes Meghan's appearance as 'rich' and Harry as 'furze and stubble'.
