TARTAN-CLAD MEGHAN WOWS SCOTS

PRINCE Harry and his American fiancee Meghan Markle, who wore a Scottish tartan coat, have been welcomed enthusiastically in Edinburgh on an official visit to Scotland.

Crowds who had waited hours on Tuesday in the cold outside Edinburgh Castle were thrilled with the smiling couple.

Harry, 33, and Ms Markle, 36, who wore a blackwatch tartan coat, were officially welcomed to the city by the Royal Marines Scotland Band at the castle, where they observed the firing of the one o’clock gun, a tradition going back to 1861.

They also visited Social Bite, a charity that runs cafes and distributes food to the homeless, as well as employing staff who have been homeless.

The prince and Ms Markle were also due to attend a reception at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
