Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to visit Social Bite

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to visit the Social Bite social enterprise in Edinburgh during the couple’s first official joint visit to Scotland next week.

The royal couple will visit the social enterprise cafe on Tuesday and help to mark the Scottish Year of Young People 2018.

Social Bite distributes 100,000 items of food and hot drinks to homeless people across Scotland each year, as well as employing staff who have experienced homelessness themselves.

It raised more than £4 million towards eradicating homelessness in Scotland following a Sleep in the Park event in December.

Kensington Palace said the couple would be meeting members of the public and learn more about organisations that work in the local community.

In the cafe, Harry and Ms Markle will learn more about the social enterprise, meet staff and tour the kitchen.

They will be the latest in a string of high-profile visitors to Social Bite premises.

Hollywood star Leonardo di Caprio stopped for lunch at Social Bite venture Home in Edinburgh’s west end in November 2016 while the Duchess of Cornwall and George Clooney have been to Social Bite’s Rose Street branch.
