Prince Harry Announces Power-Packed Solo Trip to N.Y.C. in September
The Duke of Sussex will “advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives,” a spokesperson said

Prince Harry’s next official trip has been revealed.

On Aug. 27, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex announced that Harry is set to visit New York City during UN General Assembly High-level Week and Climate Week. Climate Week kicks off on Sept. 22 and runs until Sept. 29, while High-level Week runs from Sept. 23 to Sept. 27.

Prince Harry, 39, will be in N.Y.C. to “advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives,” the spokesperson said. “He will participate in engagements with African Parks, The HALO Trust, The Diana Award, and Travalyst.”

Harry will also “be furthering the work of The Archewell Foundation, the nonprofit organization he co-founded with his wife Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex,” the spokesperson added.

The September timing coincides with another event happening in New York City around Prince William’s Earthshot Prize. On Sept. 24, the Prince of Wales’ global environmental contest and Bloomberg Philanthropies will co-host the third annual Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit at the iconic Plaza Hotel.

Prince William, 42, launched the contest in 2020 to inspire impactful approaches to the world’s most pressing environmental challenges, with plans to award $1 million Earthshot Prizes in five categories annually until 2030.

It remains unclear whether Prince William will attend the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit like he did last year. The late September date falls after his kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis go back to school following the summer holidays.

Prince Harry was last in New York City in October 2023 for the Archewell Foundation’s first in-person event. The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age brought together parents who experienced tragic loss connected to their child’s social media use, and the Duke and Duchess spoke on stage alongside Surgeon General Vivek Murthy in a conversation moderated by Carson Daly.
