Just like us! Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan spotted catching public transport

The Duchess of Sussex sent social media into a frenzy after she was snapped closing her own car door during her first solo appearance this week.

And now, it seems that her normalcy is rubbing off on husband Prince Harry, with the couple spotted catching the train from an event at Loughborough University on Monday.

Taking to Twitter to share her excitement, one fan posted a video of the Duke and Duchess departing a train from Loughborough station.

“Bizarrely sharing my train with Harry & Meghan today,” Twitter user Jonny Norton captioned the video.

The royal pair were seen holding hands as they walked through the station, surrounded by minders and security.

But it’s not the first time the couple have travelled by public transport to an event. The couple also caught a train to their first official visit in Cardiff – which ended up being delayed.

“Most of you have freezing cold hands! We’re very sorry we’re late. Blame the trains!” Harry apologised when they turned up an hour late.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have also been seen getting on the train on a number of occasions, while Meghan was fortunate enough to score a ride on Queen Elizabeth’s luxurious private train.

The Duchess of Sussex travelled overnight with the 92-year-old monarch to their first joint engagement together in Cheshire in June.
