The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will spend time apart during the rest of September as Harry works in New York and London.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will continue to spend time apart as the Duke of Sussex works in New York and London.

The royal is set to embark on a series of solo appearances in New York this week.

Harry will kick off a week of high-profile events in New York today, including appearances with an African conservation group and a youth charity named after his late mother, Princess Diana.

He is also scheduled to meet with the Halo Trust, a landmine charity close to Diana’s heart.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s will continue to spend time apart as the Duke of Sussex works in New York and London.

These engagements come after Harry recently attended a charity event in California alone, as Meghan pulled out at the last minute due to illness.

Royal expert Phil Dampier commented on Harry’s recent solo activities, saying: “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.”

Dampier told The Sun: “I suspect Harry has been feeling very much like a spare part.

The royal is set to embark on a series of solo appearances in New York this week.

“He wants more fulfilling roles for himself so we may well be seeing more of him here.”

Harry’s solo appearances extend beyond New York as next Monday, he is scheduled to host the WellChild Awards in London, marking another significant event without Meghan by his side.

The Duchess of Sussex has not travelled to the UK since attending Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.

This follows Harry’s recent solo trip to England, where he attended a memorial service for his uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes.

As the Duke carves out a more independent public role, speculation on how this might impact their joint ventures continues.

These separate engagements have become more frequent, with the usually inseparable pair spending time apart since Harry’s 40th birthday celebrations earlier this month.

In a statement released ahead of his birthday, Harry notably focused on his children, describing Archie and Lilibet as “kind and funny”. The statement made no mention of Meghan.
