This week, they made the journey to Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, where they toured the 2,000-year-old castle and stopped by local recreation center Star Hub, which promotes fitness activities for kids.

With the scene soundtracked by some upbeat pop, Markle seemed to be very much enjoying herself in the midst of the group. It’s not clear how the game turned out — we don’t see the tower fall — but at least early on she was at ease in the potentially-stressful situation. Markle and the Prince also chatted with local high school students about fitness as they rode stationary bikes, and spent time greeting fans and receiving gifts outside the castle while on their Welsh jaunt. It wasn’t all fun and games during their journey to the English territory, though: they apparently got stuck on a delayed train for [about an hour](https://www.vogue.com/article/meghan-markle-prince-harry-delayed-train) on their way there. Looks like things are going more smoothly on the ground, as onlookers who got a chance to meet Markle have [only nice things to say](http://people.com/royals/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-visited-a-castle-today-and-the-photos-are-a-fairy-tale-come-true/). > [](https://twitter.com/RE%5FDailyMail/status/954038296488890371) > [](https://twitter.com/RE%5FDailyMail/status/954037117528748032) > [](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/954006304124698624) ## Transcript [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ APPLAUSE ] [ INAUDIBLE ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5108140/meghan-markle-jenga/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5108140/meghan-markle-jenga/"},"headline":"Here's Meghan Markle Enjoying a Lively Game of Jenga with Some Young New Friends","datePublished":"2018-01-18T17:45:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-12T08:46:36.028Z","description":"The actress and fiancée of Prince Harry took some time during a visit to a kids' center to join in a game of Jenga.","url":"https://time.com/5108140/meghan-markle-jenga/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Games","celebrities","royals","meghan markle"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdf188bb62a1152d8/6988f8aaab6d77ec926b165d/prince-harry-meghan-markle-cardiff.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdf188bb62a1152d8/6988f8aaab6d77ec926b165d/prince-harry-meghan-markle-cardiff.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Visit Cardiff Castle","caption":"Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Visit Cardiff Castle","creditText":"Chris Jackson—Chris Jackson/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5108140/meghan-markle-jenga/","name":"Here's Meghan Markle Enjoying a Lively Game of Jenga with Some Young New Friends"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Visit Cardiff Castle","description":"The duo went for a walkabout, signing autographs and shaking hands with well-wishers in Cardiff for their third royal appearance on Thursday","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/wyCOoCyd/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-01-18T18:18:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/wyCOoCyd.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5108140/meghan-markle-jenga/","duration":"PT51S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5108140/meghan-markle-jenga/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
