Upcoming Big Apple Adventure for Prince Harry
Get ready for an exciting journey to the heart of the Big Apple! That's right, Prince Harry (39), Duke of Sussex, is set to visit New York City during the UN General Assembly's High-Level and Climate Week, kicking off on September 22. The event continues through September 29, with the High-Level Week taking place from September 23 to 27.
According to a spokesperson, Harry's aim is to promote several of his patronages and charitable projects. He'll be attending events alongside African Parks, The HALO Trust, The Diana Award, and Travalyst. Additionally, the spokesperson confirmed that Harry will assist in furthering the work of his own non-profit organization, Archewell Foundation, which he co-founded with his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
Rumors of Prince William's Presence
The September dates coincide with an annual Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in New York City, an initiative led by Harry's brother, Prince William (42). On September 24, this event will take place at the Plaza Hotel.
Launched in 2020, Earthshot Prize encourages innovative solutions to global environmental challenges. By 2030, they plan to award annual prizes worth $1 million in five categories.
However, uncertainties remain as to whether Prince William will participate in this year's Summit, due to his children's school commencement in late September. Moreover, Princess Kate's (42) return to public engagements is still in question, as she continues her cancer treatment.
Harry and Meghan's Active Year
Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have recently embarked on two international trips this year, both focused on supporting their foundation, Archewell. These trips included a visit to Nigeria in May and Colombia from August 15 to 18.
At the New York City event, Harry might express his support for his brother's Earthshot Prize project, with Prince William aiming to award $1 million annually by 2030. Plus, it's possible that Harry's brother may attend the Innovation Summit, although his participation remains unconfirmed due to his children's school schedule.
