2018 is set to be the year of great royal happenings - Kate Middleton and Prince William will have their third child, Zara Tindall is welcoming another baby, and there's the royal wedding, of course. We are screaming with excitement!
To kick this exhilarating new year off, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry visited Reprezent Radio at POP Brixton.
The London radio station started a training programme in 2008 in response to a dramatic rise in knife crime. The programme helps young people expand their skill-set as well as find educational and employment opportunities that suit them.

As of today, more than 4,000 youths have gone through the Reprezent programme. The station also campaigns on issues that affect young people, from domestic violence to international politics.
The couple came to see how Reprezent's work has helped the community's young people.
Locals flocked to POP Brixton to catch a glimpse of the Prince and his fiancée. Meghan and Harry looked demure in neutrals, but they still managed to dazzle the crowds.
I mean, look at Meghan's coat! Absolutely GORGEOUS.

The pair seemed relaxed as they chatted to some of the programme's participants about their experiences.
One of the best moments of the visit came when Harry and one of the people at Reprezent shared an elaborate handshake. He managed to play along pretty well.

Yep, Harry's keeping it fresh.
Or at least trying! One of the presenters tweeted afterward about the Royals' visit, saying that Harry didn't know who British rapper Giggs was.
So basically I asked Prince Harry... does he know about Giggs ... he said what events...

Fair enough
Nice one, Harry!
We do have to wonder though - did they happen to find a wedding DJ while there?
That would be the gig (not Giggs...) of a lifetime!
