Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s visit to Bristol went ahead despite the snow and ice in the city.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were all smiles as they arrived in Bristol, despite the freezing weather conditions.

The pregnant Duchess of Sussex, who is expected to give birth in April, wrapped up for the occasion, wearing Oscar De La Renta.

However, the Prince’s wife and mother-to-be caused concern between fans as the walkabout in the city could cause the Duchess to slip – especially when she was revealed to be wearing high heeled boots.

Fans took to Twitter to share their worries, with one writing: “Ice and snow is not safe for anyone to be walking on especially Meghan who is 7 months pregnant.”

Another shared: “I predict that Henry Charles Albert David will practically be carrying his wife and watching every step her feet make in this snow.”

Other fans have reminded people that Meghan used to live in Toronto in Canada where snow is much heavier.
