Prince Harry and Meghan – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – are to visit Brighton and Hove next week.
The newly married couple are visiting the city next Wednesday (3 October) as the Sussexes make their first official visit together to Sussex.
They are expected to arrive by helicopter before visiting the Royal Pavilion on Wednesday afternoon.
The couple are also believed to be preparing to visit the sexual abuse charity Survivors’ Network.
The visit and details of the day’s programme were announced by Kensington Palace this afternoon (Thursday 27 September).
In the morning Harry and Meghan will visit Chichester and Bognor Regis before heading to Brighton.
Plans are in place in anticipation of big crowds turning out to see the couple before they head off to Peacehaven.
Are they going to visit Hove? At a Committee meeting this afternoon in Hove Town Hall, cllr Robins said that he had not been invited to meet them next week. I infer that this is probably because he wanted to close down the Carnegie Library. A Patcham resident was today telling me how she enjoyed bringing her young children to the Carnegie: it made for a day oit, and so they have grown up to relish books.
I certainly don’t want ‘son of Hewitt’ and his vacuous, vainglorious wife in my hometown, especially if Brighton taxpayers are funding this visit.
I hope they don’t use the South Coast Road from Brighton to get to Peacehaven. Helicopter probably the only way to do it in less than an hour. But of course according to ESCC the traffic is no worse than when they last did a traffic survey in 2011.
And how much will this cost the taxpayers of Brighton?
Do people not realise how much money the Royals bring in. Tourists flock to This country to see them. Some people are miserable sods!
