Prince Harry and Meghan Markle taking ‘secret steps’ to avoid chaos on New York City trip
Harry and Meghan's last trip to New York City did not go to plan, but they're going to try again.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to host their first ever in-person Archewell event tomorrow, October 10.
The former royal couple will be making a return to New York City after their “near catastrophic” car chase back in May.
The event, which will see Harry and Meghan interact with parents who have suffered tragic losses in connection to social media, will take place on October 10, World Mental Health Day.
It is their first in-person event since launching Archewell back in 2020, shortly after stepping down as senior working royals.
At the Archewell event, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will aim to raise awareness on how to make having an online presence a safer space for both parents and children
At the event, which will be called ‘The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age’, the conversation will explore how both global and local communities will aim to create positive change surrounding online platforms.
They will work on how they can support one another in developing solutions to empower families and uplift our collective mental well-being.
A source told PEOPLE: “The families have been engaged with The Archewell Foundation for the past year, bolstering community and driving towards solutions.
“Together, they are united in their mission to share personal experiences, data, and research to ensure the same does not happen to other families.”
Due to the nature of the event, PR expert Jane Owen said that she believes it will provide a great opportunity for Meghan and Harry.
She said: “I’m extremely glad to see that they are stepping up and showing up for this event.
“Their attendance brings a huge amount of national and international attention to an extremely important cause.”
Despite this, she stated that she hopes the couple won’t only show when it is convenient for them – and will keep the focus solely on the nature of the event
