Meghan Markle is feeling positive ahead of tomorrow’s joint charity visit to Nottingham with Prince Harry, according to reports.
A source close to the duchess told PEOPLE she remains busy and in touch with friends in Montecito. They added: “She has a great attitude about it all.”
Thursday’s visit, on October 15, will be the couple’s first joint public engagement since their return to the UK. They are expected to visit three charitable organisations.

A friend speaking to HELLO! also painted a positive picture ahead of the outing. “She’s up for it,” the friend said.
The friend described Nottingham as somewhere the couple feel particularly attached to. The city hosted their first public appearance following their engagement in 2017.
Sources close to the Sussexes expect only a handful of joint appearances over the coming year, HELLO! reported.
Meghan’s priorities remain her children, As Ever, acting and charitable causes, sources told the magazine.
Meghan Markle’s family routine after UK return
According to the source speaking to PEOPLE, family routines came first after the move: “After they first arrived in England, their focus was on establishing a routine and getting the kids settled into school.”
The source said the children had adjusted well, something particularly important to Meghan.
They added that both Meghan and Harry now feel “excited” about giving more attention to their work and projects.
The family returned to Britain in August, six years after the couple stepped back from royal duties.
Harry has already undertaken public engagements around the UK since the family’s arrival.
