King Charles is urged to 'act' as Harry and Meghan signal more 'pseudo-royal' visits after their Nottingham walkabout

A friend of the couple insisted 'there will be more days like this going forward', claiming the events only looked royal because 'that is who they are'. A letter authorised by the King last month says the Sussexes remain 'private citizens'. The Palace is reportedly irritated, especially by a briefing that the Sandringham Agreement was 'foisted' on them. Courtiers are said to be determined not to be 'stung into reacting'.

Former Kensington Palace aide Beth Herlihy, who once played a Hollyoaks stripper, followed them on the walkabout.

Local David Harker, 54, branded Meghan 'nauseating and entitled' and said they 'weren't welcome'.

John Bird, 78, said the Sussexes could 'p*** off', while one fan said they 'should be King and Queen'.
