Crowds had braved the chilly weather and started to gather along the street hours before the couple's arrival, with the pair having captured the nation's heart since their whirlwind romance was revealed.

Meghan, 36, appeared to be particularly happy during this afternoon's visit, with the US actress again forgoing gloves in the cold weather to give fans a glimpse of her stunning ring.

The future royal, who was bundled up in a £585 Canadian label Smythe coat and matching Jigsaw brand scarf, clutched Prince Harry's arm as the pair waved to their ecstatic fans in their first appearance of the year.

Prince Harry, 33, also made sure to keep his future wife close, holding her hands as they were taken into the radio station.

Meghan completed her look with a £45 sweater from Marks & Spencer, as well as flared Burberry trousers, and a messy bun framing her face.

The Prince also looked suitably rugged up for the afternoon weather, wearing a dark green jacket over a grey jumper and white collared shirt.

The couple met with presenters and staff from Reprezent FM, a radio station that has launched the careers of musicians including Stormzy, and which trains hundreds of young people every year in media and employment skills.

During the visit, the royal couple were expected to learn more about the training programme, having launched their tour around the UK ahead of their wedding that will take place in just 122 days at St George's Chapel at Windsor.

But Meghan and Harry made sure not to forget about their dedicated fans as they left the event, spending a few minutes meeting those with banners and posters professing "Brixton Loves You".

One fan even broke down in tears, telling Meghan that she loved her, and that the chance to meet her "meant so much" to her.

One cheeky DJ even managed to hand over his business card to the couple, offering to perform at their wedding.

Meghan was presented with flowers and shook hands with some of her fans during the brief meet and greet after the event.

Shane Carey, 46, founder and chief executive officer of Reprezent, who hosted the couple, said: "Since the visit was announced there's been massive excitement in the station - much more than I could have expected."

He added: "We're having the spotlight shone on us from all the world's media pretty much, we've never had this attention.

"The whole point of this is that the young people learn how to be creative and then shine with it and they're really getting a chance now."

Prince Harry and fiancee Meghan Markle in first public engagement since announcing plans to marry

The Reprezent training programme was established 10 years ago in response to the rise in knife crime, to help young people develop and socialise through radio.

It has grown to become a hotbed of UK music talent with the DJs and presenters working in the music industry, running their own club nights and producing their own music.

More than 4,000 young people have been through the Reprezent programme, with over 3,000 more on the waiting list.

Harry and Meghan have already managed to successfully navigate their way through public outings together, with Meghan, 36, appearing to be a pro during their first official engagement in Nottingham together last year.

The future royal smiled and greeted keen fans during the visit, giving fans a glimpse of her impressive engagement ring.
