The Duke and Duchess of Sussex make first visit to their namesake, Sussex
Listen, if you share your official title with an actual, physical place, you've gotta go there.
And, that's exactly what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have just done.
For the first time since becoming the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they've paid an official visit to Sussex.

Harry and Meghan kicked off their visit in Chichester and met children from the Prebendal School there. The couple will also visit Bognor, Brighton, and Peacehaven during the tour.
They will also be visiting Survivors' Network, a small Sussex-based charity that supports rape and sexual assault survivors.
The director of the charity, Jay Breslaw, told the BBC there was "a mood of real jubilation in the office."
"We recognise the huge importance to us as a small charity in Sussex, and particularly in this time when funding is difficult, funds are being cut," Breslaw continued.

True to playful form, Prince Harry was spotted tickling a small child in the crowd.
