AceShowbiz - Prince Harry attended a star-studded dinner party hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in New York City over the weekend without his wife, Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex, 40, joined Queen Mathilde of Belgium and other dignitaries at the private event focused on violence against children and its impact on mental health.
Harry posed for photos with guests, including actor Forest Whitaker, and engaged in discussions with UN agency workers. He also attended a high-level summit organized by Concordia to discuss the Diana Award, honoring young leaders named after his late mother.
Harry's solo appearances in New York come ahead of the UN General Assembly. He is also scheduled to address the 2024 Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting to discuss the launch of The Archewell Foundation Parents' Network, an initiative supporting parents impacted by online harm.
Harry's trip overlaps with the 2024 Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, where his brother, Prince William, is a founder. However, William is not expected to be in New York for the event this year.
Last Friday, Harry also attended Kevin Costner's annual fundraising event in Santa Barbara, California, where he presented an award. He was not accompanied by his wife either because she reportedly came down with an illness.
