Prince Harry to embark on solo transatlantic trip: What awaits him without Meghan by his side?
The usually inseparable pair have spent time apart since Harry’s lads’ trip to celebrate his 40th birthday this month.
At the weekend, the Duke of Sussex turned up alone at a charity event in California after Meghan, 43, pulled out at the last minute having fallen ill.
And today he kicks off a week of high-profile solo events in New York.
Harry is due to appear with an African conservation group, a young people’s charity named after his mum Diana and the Halo Trust, a landmine charity which was close to Di’s heart.
Next Monday he is scheduled to host the WellChild awards in London.
It is the second time in weeks that Harry has returned to England alone after he attended a memorial service for his uncle Lord Robert Fellowes.
Royal expert Phil Dampier said: “It is significant that he is doing so much on his own now. They are living more separate lives as it looks like Harry is trying to carve out what exactly his future is. I suspect Harry has been feeling very much like a spare part.
“He wants more fulfilling roles for himself so we may well be seeing more of him here.”
In a statement released ahead of his birthday, Harry failed to mention Meghan — instead focused on celebrating his “kind and funny” children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
