An Englishman in New York! Prince Harry is back in the US for Clinton panel discussion about 'getting disruption right' - a month after leaving for Britain

Prince Harry has arrived back in the US to appear in a panel discussion today about 'getting disruption right', less than a month after starting his new life in Britain.The Duke of Sussex flew to New York without his wife Meghan Markle and children ahead of speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in the city.He was spotted walking along Madison Avenue yesterday with his security team, one of whom kept members of the public away from him by holding out their arms. Harry lived in California for six years following his move to America with Meghan in 2020 after the couple stepped down as senior royals in contentious circumstances.But the family returned to Britain exactly four weeks ago on August 26, and have since enrolled their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in a UK school.Now, the duke has made his first trip back to the US for the gathering which has been organised by former president Bill Clinton, his wife Hillary and their daughter Chelsea.The discussion, which is being held during United Nations General Assembly week, comes after Harry carried out three engagements in the UK over the past six days.The duke attended the Invictus Spirit Awards in London last Thursday to honour members of the Invictus community at his first event since returning to the UK.He went to Ninestiles Academy in Birmingham the following day to launch Inspire, a new education programme linked to the Invictus Games in the city next June.Harry then returned to London on Monday for the WellChild Awards to celebrate the achievements and resilience of seriously ill youngsters and their families.But Meghan has not joined him at any of the events – and the last public engagement they attended together was a David Foster Foundation gala in Canada on August 7.

Since the Sussexes flew home on August 26 they have been involved in their own public spat with Buckingham Palace about their status and their children have moved schools after issues were raised by their security team about the school run.The Sussexes stepped down as working royals in 2020 for personal and financial reasons but rumours remain rife as to why they unexpectedly relocated to the UK from California, where they had created a life away from the institution of the monarchy.Speculation ranges from the couple wanting their children to develop a closer relationship with their grandfather the King, Meghan seeking a return to acting and the Sussexes wanting to increase their profile.In the run-up to their return Charles was said to be glad to be able to spend more time with the Sussex family, but remained adamant they would not be working royals, and there was no half-in, half-out option. Former president Bill Clinton, his wife Hillary and their daughter Chelsea appear together on the first day of the Clinton Global Initiative 2026 annual meeting in New York yesterday Prince Harry attends the WellChild Awards at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Monday evening - one of three public engagements he has had in the UK over the past weekHarry and Meghan at the David Foster Foundation 40th anniversary celebration in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, on August 7 - the last public engagement they attended togetherWithin two weeks of arriving there was reported pushback from the Sussexes after a letter, authorised by the King, was circulated by the Lord Chamberlain to senior stakeholders in the Government and military reiterating the couple were 'private citizens' and setting out guidance on how they should be treated.Harry and Meghan were said to be 'surprised' by the formal letter and the couple, who are waiting to hear whether they will be given taxpayer-funded security, were reported to prefer the term 'public figures' instead.School has been an issue for the Sussexes, with their children Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, moved to a new undisclosed institution after just two days in class.The decision came after heavy traffic and the lengthy journey to the school reportedly put the Sussexes' security team under strain.Separately, it was reported on Monday that Harry is in talks to make a documentary about his mother to mark the 30th anniversary of her death.The duke is understood to have asked a number of Diana's friends and relatives if they would take part in a commemorative film ahead of the milestone in August next year.Among them is her brother the earl, who has said he penned a book to avoid being a 'talking head' in productions about his sister.The project has not been confirmed, and the prince is understood to be weighing up different ways of commemorating Diana and her legacy.A source close to Harry said: 'The Duke has discussed a number of possible projects. Nothing has been finalised or confirmed, and he is still considering the most meaningful way to honour his mother's legacy during this important anniversary year.'
