Prince Harry, Meghan Markle in First Public Appearance, Visit World Trade Center
Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle kicked off a joint trip to New York with a visit to the “Freedom Tower” and 9/11 Memorial on Thursday.
The couple toured the observatory on floors 100 and 102 of the One World Trade Center with New York Governor Kathy Hochul and city Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Harry, 37, wore a navy suit and tie, while Markle, 40, sported a navy coat over a black top and pants.
They inspected the reflecting pools situated where the Twin Towers stood before the Al-Qaeda attacks on September 11, 2001.
When asked about her return to New York, Markle said, “It’s wonderful to be back, thank you.”
The outing marked Harry and Markle’s first major public, in-person appearance since their move to the United States in March 2020 and the birth of their second child, daughter Lilibet, in June.
The couple are visiting New York to attend the Global Citizen Live event Saturday in Central Park. They joined the lineup “to continue their work with world leaders in pursuit of global vaccine equity.”
Global Citizen Live is a 24-hour virtual event featuring performances on six continents. The concert, featuring Stevie Wonder, Demi Lovato, Kylie Minogue, Billie Eilish, Jennifer Lopez, Ed Sheeran and other artists, will stream Saturday on ABC, BBC, FX, YouTube, Hulu, iHeartRadio and other networks and streaming services.
The event, hosted by international education and advocacy group Global Citizen, aims to combat poverty, COVID-19 and climate change.
