The Duke of Sussex has made a lowkey visit to a popular New York City tattoo parlour, East Side Ink, that has inked the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans.

The royal was seen entering the parlour alongside his security team, with Harry arriving in a black SUV and wearing jeans and a green shirt. Harry reportedly spent an hour inside the parlour before departing. Page Six was informed that the Duke didn't receieve a tattoo and was only there to film a promotional stunt for an upcoming project.

Prince Harry has been in NYC for the past few days

Had Harry gotten a tattoo inked, he wouldn't be the first member of the royal family to do so, with his cousin Princess Eugenie sporting some ink behind her ear. The royal debuted the circular tattoo in 2022 during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee, although it's unknown what it means to her.

The Duke has been at several charity events

At a Halo Trust event, Harry spoke of his late mother, Princess Diana, saying: "Carrying on her legacy is a responsibility that I take incredibly seriously.

"Much has changed in my life and the world since 2019 when I first visited. In those five years, I've become a father for the second time. And while you don't need children to have a stake in the future of our planet, I do know that my mother would have been horrified that anyone's children or grandchildren would live in a world still infested with mines."

However, the Duke has also had lighter moments during his trip to the 'Big Apple', appearing alongside Jimmy Fallon to explore the American presenter's horror-themed maze, Jimmy ToNightmares.

The segment saw Harry and Jimmy make their way through the house with cameras strapped to their chests, capturing every scare they encountered at the venue. In the segment, the Duke was seen wearing the same outfit that he wore to the tattoo parlour.

Although the royal was not accompanied by wife Meghan Markle or their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the trio were still close to him, with Harry revealing that his youngsters were the image on his phone's lock screen.
