Story summary

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, made their first joint public appearance last week since returning to the UK in August. Their walkabout and engagements were perceived by some as a strategic move endorsed by the Palace, with Rebecca English noting that it was clear they are considered "public figures" who can largely do as they please. In a related column, Sarah Vine suggested that resolving issues surrounding Harry might involve giving back his royal titles. Despite this, Harry ranked tenth in a recent poll measuring popularity among royals, with Princess Anne topping the list. The question remains whether these appearances are enough to win back public support for the Sussexes.
