When Prince Harry and his new fiancée Meghan Markle [hit the streets](http://time.com/5044540/prince-harry-meghan-markle-joint-tour/) of Nottingham, England, for their first event as an [official royal couple](http://time.com/5044540/prince-harry-meghan-markle-joint-tour/) on Friday, Harry – perhaps the world’s most famous redhead – got a slightly peculiar question. Amid the well-wishers waving their [Union Jack and American flags](http://time.com/5039056/prince-harry-meghan-markle-theory/) outside the National Justice Museum, came the query from a fellow flame-haired man in the crowd. “How does it feel being a ginger with Meghan?” the man asked. Harry didn’t miss a beat. “It’s great isn’t it!? Unbelievable!” By the time of this cheeky question, Markle had already moved on, but luckily there’s video evidence for her and everyone else. The [_Daily Mail’s_](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5136457/Harry-told-wellwisher-great-Meghan.html) Rebecca English captured the ginger bond between the royal and the random man in the crowd. > [](https://twitter.com/RE%5FDailyMail/status/936558220344221698) The British royal and the American actor were in Nottingham to visit a youth project and raise awareness about HIV and AIDS – a cause that Harry’s mother [Princess Diana long championed](http://time.com/4914377/princess-diana-humanitarian-work/). The pair will tour Britain for the next six months ahead of the royal wedding in May. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5044751/prince-harry-ginger-meghan-markle-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5044751/prince-harry-ginger-meghan-markle-video/"},"headline":"Prince Harry Gets Asked How a 'Ginger' Like Him Landed Meghan Markle.
