Prince Harry's NYC tour

Prince Harry began his New York City tour on Monday, September 23. His visit mainly revolves around his engagements with charities close to his heart. During his NYC tour, the Duke appeared on stage at Clinton Global Initiative and also delivered a passionate speech about how imperative it is to tackle the challenges caused by the online world.

He was also the star panellist at the end of a 90-minute session entitled Everything Everywhere All At Once. On Monday, the former royal also took part in an event dedicated to The Halo Trust. The organisation works closely to clear landmines and other explosive devices left behind by conflicts.

The same organisation witnessed a close association with Harry's mother Diana. The then Princess of Wales, worked closely with the organisation before her death, and even walked though an active landmine in Huambo, Angola, in a bid for an international ban.
