Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are headed back to New York City — five months after their last trip resulted in a “near catastrophic” car chase.
The Duke of Sussex, aged 39, and the Duchess of Sussex, aged 42, are set to travel to New York City once again in observance of World Mental Health Day on Tuesday, October 10. Their Archewell Foundation will be organizing its inaugural in-person event, a summit for parents entitled "Mental Wellness in a Digital Age."
The summit will showcase the stories of parents who have faced heart-wrenching losses due to their children's engagement with social media. Harry and Meghan have been collaborating with these parents privately for some time now, as stated by their spokesperson.
"The families have actively collaborated with The Archewell Foundation for the past year, actively strengthening the community and working towards solutions," a spokesperson for the couple stated on Thursday, October 5. "They are committed to jointly sharing their personal experiences, data, and research to prevent similar experiences from happening to other families."
The Sussexes, together with Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, will be participating in the summit. The discussion will be moderated by Carson Daly and the event aims to assist parents in navigating the dynamic landscape of the internet and discovering strategies to create a safer online environment for children and teenagers.
Harry and Meghan's upcoming trip to New York City will be their first visit since May. During their last visit, they attended the 2023 Women of Vision Awards hosted by the Ms. Foundation. It was at this event that Meghan was honored with the Women of Vision award by activist Gloria Steinem. Following the ceremony, the couple encountered a distressing circumstance when they left with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland. They found themselves being pursued by a group of relentless and aggressive photographers.
According to a representative for the couple, their relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in numerous close calls with other drivers, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers. The representative emphasized that being a public figure should not compromise anyone's safety, and the dissemination of the obtained images promotes a dangerous and invasive practice.
Contrarily, the New York Police Department stated that the couple reached their destination without any reported collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests.

The source revealed that the couple firmly denied any exaggeration in their account of the car chase, and found it deeply distressing and inappropriate for others to suggest otherwise.
