Thousands of people turned out to greet Prince Harry and Meghan on their first stop in Chichester.

The streets were lined with people who welcomed the royal couple as they arrived.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took the time to greet members of the public in West Street before viewing a rare parchment copy of the American Declaration of Independence at Edes House.

A Chichester pupil, who was in the crowd during the visit, was such a fan of the royals that she named her pet chicked after Meghan shortly after the wedding.

After Chichester, Prince Harry and Meghan’s second engagement of the day was the opening of the University of Chichester’s £35million tech park in Bognor Regis.

Excited students travelled from the campus in Chichester to watch them arrive.
