Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Are Taking Their First Trip Together Since Lilibet Was Born

Just over three months after the birth of their baby girl, Lilibet Diana, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ready to take a big step — or in this case, perhaps a flight. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are heading to New York City at the end of the month for the Global Citizen Live from Central Park event on September 25, Global Citizen announced. The couple will attend the 24-hour global broadcast event, from the Great Lawn in New York City’s Central Park, and continue to use their platform and influence for good by collaborating with international leaders in an effort to ensure vaccine equity amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The couple has already gotten started on their duties, too. Prince Harry and Meghan penned an open letter to several CEOs of pharmaceutical companies, which you can read here, entreating them to ensure “equitable vaccine access globally so that people are protected, economies can recover, and this global pandemic can be brought to an end everywhere.” The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are also co-Vax Live Campaign Chairs, which occurred in May 2021.
