Delighted by the response of the crowd.... this couple is delightful !
I'm happy to see Meghan announce the engagement and immediately get to work...it gives me hope. Everyone is talking about it being a successful engagement and I just have to wonder has there ever been any unsuccessful first time engagements? If all the newly engaged have good first time outings then why would Meghan's be different?
I will say I liked the few American flags; makes me think they accept her.

AFAIK, one of Harry's great-great-grondmothers was American, so he has also a 1/16 of American blood in his veins.
BTW, is a walk about in four days really quick? From the sound of some commentators, it wasn't just a surprise that she attended a royal engagement this quickly, but even more surprised that there is a walk about this fast. I know Kate didn't attend her first engagement until more than a month after engagement announcement, but William didn't have that many engagements then either. What about Diana, Fergie, and Sophie?
I wouldn't say he introduced Meghan to her They were doing a walkabout and they spoke to several people in the crowd right there. But I am sure by now they at least recognize the long time ones, and have some opinion of them.

I agree that she was thrown into the deep end pretty quick. I am earnestly glad that it was seen as a rousing success, but I do think they need to be judicious in how much exposure Meghan gets. They'll wear her out. What I wouldn't give to be a birdie in Meghan's mind regarding everything that is happening to her.
Charles and Diana's first was an engagement at Goldsmith's hall March 9. The engagement had been announced on February 24, so just short of two weeks earlier.

I think it was the fastest walkabout but Meghan and Harry are older than the others were with experience albeit in different areas.
I think the decision to jump in was theirs and theirs alone and I have to admit I was initially blown away by the sheer noise and number of police officers prior to their arrival. During the walkabout, I watched them come together, touch a hand or put a hand on an arm or back and then part back into the fray.
That touch and go process was repeated again and again and I think Harry was letting her know he was there and she was letting him know she was doing okay and when they looked at each other they had no filters on. I hope they never do because it is wonderful to see people share such happiness.
I think the 'fastest' refers to how soon after the engagement - not the duration of the walkabout (although that was my first thought as well).

Did anyone else catch this yesterday? Around 1:11 we see Harry get after a reporter and block his access to Meghan (saying something like That's enough of that)..then the bodyguard has an exchange with the photographer.
It's nice to see that protective nature.
