The Duke of Sussex, 40, joined winners of the legacy award given in Princess Diana 's memory to discussing mental health and climate change.
Prince Harry has called for the term 'mental health' to be replaced with 'mental fitness' - as he took to the stage in New York without Meghan at his side.
Much of the conversation was about climate change. Harry looked slightly nervous and cracked his knuckles The duke personally interviewed Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang from Indonesia and Christina Williams from Jamaica, who received The Legacy Award in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, joking: 'For some reason I’ve been given the microphone to ask the questions’.
His decision to jet off alone to New York to meet royals and celebrities before a solo trip to Britain shows he is determined to 'carve out' new opportunities and 'assert himself' after turning 40, experts told MailOnline today. On his trip to New York this week he will also support pet charities and businesses including African Parks, The HALO Trust, The Diana Award, and Travalyst. And this weekend he will fly to London for his annual visit to support WellChild at their awards ceremony, again without his wife.
‘He has this few days in New York and then he’s heading to London for the WellChild event with which he’s been involved for years.Harry chats with singer Richard Marx Read More Prince Harry schmoozes with Queen Mathilde at New York dinner He said: 'It’s not just Harry doing repeated solo events which suggests a shift in his lifestyle and strategy to assert himself - not least in Britain'.
The gathering comes a day after Harry attended Kevin Costner 's charity concert at his beachfront estate solo, all the way across the country in California while Meghan was said to be 'sick.''What is his real role now? His achievements are undoubtedly the Invictus Games and his patronages of Wellchild, for which he is soon making a solo trip to Britain, and Sentebale, in Lesotho. All of these were operative before he married Meghan, he said.
