The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arrived at a conference on how the internet and social media are affecting young people’s mental health.
Harry and Meghan are on a panel which will discuss the issue at a mental health awareness festival, run by non-profit Project Healthy Minds, in New York.
It marks their first visit to the city since they were caught up in what they called a catastrophic car chase there in May.
The royal couple will speak alongside US surgeon general Vivek Murthy in a discussion moderated by NBC host Carson Daly, who has previously spoken of his struggles with anxiety.
The event, on World Mental Health Day, has been co-ordinated by the duke and duchess’s Archewell Foundation.
The duke said: “I can’t start without thanking all the parents, the mothers and fathers that have been here today, for being with us physically here today – but also being on this journey for the last year, creating this community of shared experience.”
