The royal couple is in town to attend
Saturday's Global Citizen Live event at Central Park to
encourage equal access to COVID-19 vaccines. It was their first
joint outing since the birth of their daughter https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/meghan-gives-birth-baby-girl-called-lilibet-statement-2021-06-06
Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor in June.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were accompanied by New York
Governor Kathy Hochul, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, his
wife, Chirlane McCray, and their son, Dante de Blasio.
The 37-year-old prince and Meghan, 40, also paid their respects
at the nearby September 11 memorial and stopped by the adjoining
museum.
The couple stepped down from royal duties in early 2020 and are
living in California with their two children.
In May, they marked https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/uk-royals-send-birthday-message-meghan-harrys-son-archie-2021-05-06
the second birthday of their son Archie by calling for donations
to help provide COVID-19 vaccines to the world's most
vulnerable.
Saturday's concert, featuring performances from Coldplay,
Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo and other artists, will be part of a
24-hour broadcast from cities around the world to "defend the
planet and defeat poverty."
