Harry, fifth-in-line to the throne, and actress
Markle, best known for the TV legal drama "Suits", announced
their engagement in November, with the wedding set for May at
Queen Elizabeth's Windsor Castle home to the west of London.
On their second official royal outing together, the couple were
greeted by large crowds when they visited the Reprezent radio
station in Brixton which was set up in 2008 as part of a
response to a rise in knife crime among young people.
The station trains hundreds of young people each year in media
and employment skills. It offers training in topics ranging from
audio and radio production and editing to communication skills
and work experience.
It also runs programs supporting youngsters with specific issues
like mental health challenges, a cause dear to Harry's heart.
Presenter Gloria Beyi, 17, said the couple showed a keen
interest in the station's music.
"The main thing I observed is they go quite well together," she
told Reuters. "This is genuine - this is real stuff. Having both
of them in one room trying to talk to you and having interest in
the station, how it works, the relationship between everyone,
it’s just so amazing.”
Asked about possible wedding music recommendations, she said: “A
little bit of house, a little bit of hip-hop, cos Harry did say
that he is interested in hip-hop and house.
"So, that mixed together at a wedding? Then you’re pretty good.
Those two genres if they’re there, you’re pretty sorted for your
wedding."
Harry, 33, and Markle, 36, will marry at Windsor's St George's
Chapel on May 19.
