Prince Harry Addresses 'Getting Disruption Right' at Clinton Global Initiative Event in New York
The Duke of Sussex participated in a panel discussion in New York City, less than a month after returning to the UK.
Prince Harry has returned to the United States to participate in a panel discussion at the Clinton Global Initiative's annual meeting in New York City. The Duke of Sussex arrived in the city without his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, for the event focused on "getting disruption right."
Harry was seen walking along Madison Avenue with his security team. His presence in New York comes shortly after the family's return to the UK on August 26, after having lived in California for six years following their step down as senior royals in 2020. The children have since been enrolled in a UK school.
The panel discussion, organized by the Clinton Global Initiative, is being held during the United Nations General Assembly week. It features leaders from business, government, and civil society, with the stated aim of identifying effective solutions to urgent crises.
Panel Participants
Prince Harry will be joined on the "getting disruption right" panel by several other figures, including:
- Greg Jackson, Octopus Energy Group founder
- Wendy Abrams, Eleven Eleven Foundation co-founder
- Karlee Silver, Grand Challenges Canada chief executive
- Martin Edlund, BillionScale Health co-founder
- Navrina Singh, Credo AI founder
- Paul Polman, business leader
- Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder
This marks Harry's second appearance at the Clinton Global Initiative's annual meeting, having previously participated in 2024 when he was still based in the U.S.
