British monarchs haven’t been the only members of the royal family to come to New York City. Princess Diana’s sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, have been here several times. Here’s a look at some of them chronologically:
Prince Harry made his first official visit to New York City in 2009, and went to, among other places, Ground Zero and a VA hospital in Manhattan. He also participated in a polo match on Governors Island to raise money for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
As part of their trip to the U.S. in 2014, Prince William and his wife, Catherine, now the Princess of Wales but then known as the Duchess of Cambridge, visited the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and attended a Brooklyn Nets game, where they met Jay-Z and Beyoncé, as well as NBA star LeBron James.
Princess Beatrice, the eldest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew the Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, attended the Met Gala in 2018.

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry, was on hand to cheer on Serena Williams, who was competing in the 2019 US Open women’s final in Queens.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan attended Global Citizen Live from Central Park in support of vaccine equity amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two years later, Harry and Meghan’s trip to New York City was marred by a harrowing paparazzi chase through the streets of Manhattan.
