Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Karen Bradley says they got a warm welcome.
"It’s been a real honour to welcome Prince Harry and Megan Markle to Northern Ireland for their first visit as a couple.
"To see the reaction, particularly from the young people... and the screaming, it was like greeting rock stars - it was absolutely incredible.
"And I'm sure that that warm welcome will mean that we'll see the couple in Northern Ireland many, many times in the years to come".
