Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to make headlines as they embark on their second public engagement together.

The couple visited the Irwin radio station, based in Brixton, South London, where they met with dozens of young DJs and discussed gender equality.

During the visit, joked about Meghan wearing the trousers in their relationship, which sparked a quick-witted response from Meghan.

The couple received a tumultuous welcome from the crowds at Pop Brixton, where the radio station has been running for 15 years.

Meghan was dressed in a 578lb Camel Brando coat by Canadian label Smythe, a scarf by Jigsaw and a 45lb sweater by Marks and Spencer.

However, she appeared shocked at the adoring response from fans.

Inside the station, she took off her coat to show off a black Marks and Spencer jumper, a far cry from the pricey outfits of her previous public appearances.

She also kept her hair more casual, wearing it up.

Meanwhile, Harry was wearing a St Taylor scarf along with a Smythe coat.

The couple listened to the station and shared a joke with staff while wearing headphones.

They even received a business card from one quick-thinking DJ who joked about DJing at their wedding.

The station trains hundreds of young people every year in media and employment skills through the Represent training program, which was established in Peckham in 2008 in response to the alarming rise in knife crime.

The program helps young people develop and socialize through radio.

Shane Carey, founder and CEO of Represent, who hosted the couple, said that there had been massive excitement in the station since the visit was announced.

He added that they had never had this attention before, and the whole point of the program was that young people learn how to be creative and shine with it.

The couple was whisked inside Pop Brixton, a community project that houses independent local businesses, start-ups, new restaurants, and the not-for-profit station in shipping containers.

Inside the Represent studios, the couple met presenter Gloria Baye, host of radio show Glory Talks, who was on air with her producer Finn Whitehead.

The 17-year-old DJ admitted she was the youngest in the station when she was quizzed by Ms. Markle.

At one point, Harry made Meghan laugh by gesturing towards a CD mixer as if he was about to start scratching a track.

As their few minutes with the presenter ended, Meghan praised the presenter, adding that she could see why her show was so popular.

The couple also visited the studios at Pop Brixton, a temporary project that has turned Issa's land into a creative space for local, independent businesses.

The Mirror's royal correspondent Victoria Murphy was at the studios covering the visit.

It is the couple's second official engagement together after the debut in Nottingham last month.

The visit left the London neighborhood buzzing with excitement, with hundreds lining the streets to welcome the couple.

The station received the spotlight from all the world's media, showing the importance of the Represent program in helping young people develop their creativity and socialize through radio.

The couple's visit was a great success, and they left a lasting impression on everyone they met.
