Royal watchers around the world are hoping Prince Harry and Prince William’s run-in in New York will make tabloid headlines next month.
The reason they support this particular scenario is that the two princes will be arriving in Manhattan in late September.
As you may know, William and Harry have been estranged for some time.
royal rift
It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when the problem started. But things are sure to get worse when Harry and wife Meghan Markle decide to step down as working royals.
The rift deepened as Meghan and Harry sat down for their Oprah interview. Then came Harry’s memoir, which seemed to be the final nail in the coffin.
These days, he and William no longer speak. Perhaps royal fans are saddened by the situation and holding out hope for reconciliation.
So the news that the brothers would arrive in New York at the same time was seen as reason for hope.
Prince Harry and Prince William clash in New York: Could it really happen?
We’ve known for a long time that Prince William might be coming to New York soon. The reason for his upcoming visit is the annual Earth Fight Award Ceremony.
There are even rumors that Kate Middleton might join him at the event.
Of course, Kate has been undergoing cancer treatment.
The news that she is now able to endure a transatlantic flight and a series of high-profile public appearances will be celebrated by her millions of supporters.
But some members of Kate’s team are concerned. They believe the princess’s trip will be “overshadowed” by the news that Prince Harry will also travel to New York this week.
New York may host two princes at the same time
Yes, according to a new report newsweekHarry will be in town representing his various charities.
“Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, will be in town to promote a range of his sponsorship and charity initiatives during the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Week in New York,” a spokesperson confirmed newsweek.
“He will be involved with African Parks, HALO Trust, Diana Awards and Travalyst,” the representative continued, adding:
“In addition, he will further the work of the Archewell Foundation, the non-profit organization he co-founded with his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
“We will share more details as event week approaches.”
It’s worth noting that William’s representatives have yet to confirm his trip to New York. But he is a co-founder of the Earthshot organization.
As such, he’s widely expected to make another appearance at the group’s signature event.
But will the brothers arrange some kind of party in New York? Well, we’re not holding our breath.
Harry has returned to London several times since severing ties with William. So far, the brothers have not attempted reconciliation.
Maybe things would be different when they were both in New York. But we have questions.
