Here’s everything Meghan and Harry got up to today in Belfast

OK, it's safe to say we got pretty excited.

We're pretty much up to date with everything Harry and Meghan, so you can understand our absolute surprise that they touched down in Belfast today. The pair arrived in Northern Ireland earlier today, making it their first joint visit overseas. Sky News reports that the trip was not announced due to security reasons - and this is common with any royal trip to Ireland. But what exactly did Harry and Meghan get up to today? Where did they go? And what did they see?

Touchdown

After the soon-to-be married couple arrived in Belfast, they made their way to the Eikon Centre. There, they celebrated the two year anniversary of ‘Amazing the Space’, a youth-led peace-building initiative.

Kids' performances

Their next stop was to local primary schools in the area. While they were visiting them, the students put on performances for Harry and Meghan, and we have to say, we're very jealous.
