The Duke of Sussex is heading to New York this autumn, it has been confirmed.
Just days after celebrating his 40th birthday on 15 September, Prince Harry will be in the Big Apple during UN General Assembly High-level Week and Climate Week, which takes place from 22 to 29 September.
A spokesperson for the Duke said that he "will be in town to advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives".
The statement added: "He will participate in engagements with African Parks, The HALO Trust, The Diana Award, and Travalyst. In addition, he will be furthering the work of The Archewell Foundation, the nonprofit organization he co-founded with his wife Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. More details will be shared as we approach the week of events."
It's still to be confirmed when Harry will arrive in New York, but Prince William's Earthshot Prize Innovation summit will also take place in the city on 24 September.
While the Prince of Wales travelled to New York last year for the summit, Kensington Palace is yet to reveal whether William will be in attendance at the 2024 event.

The Sussexes, who reside in Montecito, California, last visited New York in October 2023 when they hosted the Archewell Foundation Parents' Summit, which focused on mental wellness in a digital age. Take a look back in the clip below...
They have since launched The Parents' Network – an initiative which seeks to provide parents with a safe and free-to-access support network to help those whose children have been harmed by social media.
