Harry and Meghan Return to Nottingham; Plus MOM and Malala Fund Updates

Harry and Meghan to Return to Nottingham for Community Visits

Harry and Meghan are due to visit Nottingham on Thursday, October 15, for their first joint public engagements since returning to the UK. According to The Sunday Times, the day will include visits to Community Recording Studio, Himmah food bank and Epic Partners. Meghan is also expected to reunite with women from the Hubb Community Kitchen during the Himmah visit.

Community Recording Studio gives young people opportunities to explore music and develop their creative skills in a supportive environment. Harry has maintained a connection with the charity over the years, most recently visiting in September 2025. Epic Partners also works with young people in Nottingham, offering sports, youth clubs, mentoring and family support.

At Himmah, the focus will be on the charity’s work tackling food poverty and supporting local families. The planned gathering with the Hubb women will bring together two communities connected through food and helping others. The women first came together to cook for those affected by the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire.

Meghan visits the Hubb Community Kitchen in November 2018—post with more details can be found here.

Of course, Nottingham holds a special place in Harry and Meghan’s story. On December 1, 2017, just days after announcing their engagement, they visited the city for their first official joint royal engagement. Hundreds of well-wishers greeted them before they attended a Terrence Higgins Trust charity fair for World AIDS Day and visited Nottingham Academy to learn more about the Full Effect youth programme.

It’s hard to believe that visit was nearly nine years ago! You can revisit our original coverage, including Meghan’s Mackage coat and Strathberry bag, in Harry and Meghan Visit Nottingham for First Royal Engagement.

I’m looking forward to seeing them back in Nottingham and learning more about the organizations they’ll be visiting. I’ll share coverage of the day—and, of course, a look at what Meghan wore—here on the blog.

Meghan Teams Up with Moms Offering More

Meghan has also teamed up with Moms Offering More (MOM) through Archewell Philanthropies for a collaboration marking International Day of the Girl. MOM supports underserved mothers and families across Canada and the United States, and the collaboration features a special-edition sweatshirt with the message “It’s the Little Things.”

The sweatshirt supports two organisations: 100% of the purchase goes toward helping mothers and families, split equally between MOM and Alliance of Moms. I’ll share a closer look at the sweatshirt and purchasing details below.

MOM x Meghan, Duchess of Sussex “It’s the Little Things” sweatshirt, $100.

The sweatshirt is offered in sizes Small, Medium, Large, XLarge, XXL and XXXL. It sold out but has since been restocked in all sizes for a limited time.

Size chart here:

From the MOM website —

“Our special-edition MOM x Meghan, Duchess of Sussex “It’s the Little Things” sweatshirt is made to feel good in every way. Cozy cream with chocolate brown embroidery, 100% of your purchase goes back to supporting moms and families – 50% to MOM and 50% to Alliance of Moms.

Because sometimes, it really is the little things that make the biggest difference.”

Tea with Malala, Supporting Girls’ Education

Meghan shared photos from her afternoon tea with Malala Yousafzai at Claridge’s in London on October 7, revealing a charitable partnership for International Day of the Girl. Fin

Alongside the photos, they shared this message:

“When we support the girls of today, we empower the women of tomorrow. Access to education is the key to unlocking this.”

To mark October 11, As Ever partnered with Archewell Philanthropies to donate 100% of net proceeds from its jams and teas to Malala Fund (one day only), supporting its work to ensure every girl has access to free, safe, quality education.

“Tea for Two has never felt so good,” the announcement read. A lovely way to turn an afternoon catch-up into support for girls around the world.

I have not yet been able to find a match for the blue and white striped shirt Meghan is wearing under her MOM “It’s the little things” sweatshirt. Check back for updates.

Finally, Meghan shared this sweet clip on her Instagram stories today of Archie and Lili walking down the dirt road with what looks like their school back packs.

Oh how we love to see these sweet Sussex family moments!
