The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are on their first public engagement since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they would be resigning from royal life. 

Prince William and Kate Middleton were all smiles as they arrived in Bradford. 

The visit comes as work is going on behind the scenes to try and strike a deal with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who last week announced they want to step back from royal duties and split their time between the UK and Canada. 

The Queen issued a statement after crunch talks at Sandringham on Monday, saying a solution needed to be found as soon as possible.
