The couple's engagement in Brooklyn comes just weeks after it emerged that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attempted to gag teachers and pupils from speaking negatively about an appearance they undertook in September 2021.
The royal couple visited a school in Harlem, New York, where Meghan read her book The Beach to a class of seven-year-olds.
Emails detailing exchanges between Meghan's aides and the New York City Department of Education were released two years later following a Freedom of Information request.
The emails showed negotiations regarding the language that would be used in the press release announcing the Duchess of Sussex's visit to the school.
