In other words, Meghan and Harry went to New York these two days.
It was the first time they had attended a major public event together since they had withdrawn from the royal family.
The main purpose of this visit is to participate in the "Global Citizen Live Concert" in Central Park, where they plan to speak and call for a fair distribution of vaccines around the world.
However, the concert was on Saturday, and they arrived in New York on Wednesday.
Come early and naturally walk around New York.
Although the two have withdrawn from the royal family, the battle and reception specifications of this trip are still quite large...
They first went to the observation deck of one World Trade Center in New York.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul took time out of his busy schedule to spend time with them.
New York City Mayor De Blasio also came, not only himself, but also his wife and son.
The governor and mayor personally acted as tour guides to Harry and Meghan to introduce,
Take them to see the scenery.
All kinds of jokes are all over the place.
Finally, of course, a group photo.
After going to the World Trade Center, Harry and Meghan went to the 9/11 National Memorial and Museum.
When they went, the memorial hall was not yet open, and ordinary people could not enter at this time.
But who let them be Harry and Meghan, naturally can go in.
Not only can you enter,
Alice Greenwald, director of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, and Patti Harris, CEO of the Bloomberg Philanthropic Foundation, personally came out to receive them.
Explain carefully to them,
Take them on a tour of the museum.
Harry and Meghan brought in a personal photographer to document the entire process.
You think that's the end of it?
It's just a morning trip.
In the afternoon, they set off again.
I went to United Nations Plaza and met linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
After the meeting, the ambassador also tweeted.
Saying it was a great pleasure to meet, the trio had important discussions about COVID-19, racial equality, and raising awareness of mental health.
After meeting the ambassador, Harry and Meghan rushed to the WHO office to discuss global vaccine equity with a group of leaders, experts, and activists.
Clinton's daughter Chelsea Clinton was also one of the attendees.
On Friday, Harry Meghan was not idle.
Early in the morning I went to an elementary school in Harlem, a black residential area of New York.
The kids were excited to see them.
Megan read to the students the story of the children's picture book "Bench", which she wrote.
Looked at the students' artwork.
Efforts to promote healthy eating throughout the community were also discussed.
The whole painting style looks no different from their previous royal events...
They stayed at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, where suites cost up to £4,500 a night.
Kennedy and Diana had lived before, and William and Kate had also lived here on their first visit to New York.
Just like the official royal family's visit, they are protected by the U.S. government.
This time in New York, protecting them in addition to their own bodyguards,
And the agents who came to the Department of Homeland Security,
A large number of New York Police,
and armed men with guns.
As their convoy drove on the road, a police car followed them.
The staff of the World Trade Center Observation Deck said that there was a lot of security at the scene, and there was an atmosphere like a state visit.
A former secret service said that although Harry and Meghan had retired from the British royal family, they were still the family of the British head of state.
In the unlikely event that something happened in New York, the government did not send anyone to protect the Duke and Duchess, which could cause a major diplomatic incident.
In addition to the large security battle, Megan's dress is also very exquisite on this trip.
She changed her lazy home style in California, pulled up her hair in a bun, put on a coat, and put on simple and luxurious jewelry.
Create a capable strong woman image.
Three sets of clothes were changed in two days, all kinds of wool coats, and the first day was still a high neck.
Although the momentum is very sufficient, many netizens also said that they could not understand it.
Because the temperature in New York was 27 degrees that day, everyone was wearing short-sleeved skirts.
She was wearing a coat?
This red set is also suspected by some netizens to imitate Michelle's outfit at the inauguration of President Biden...
Of course, you can imagine that they came out with such fanfare to visit,
Netizens are certainly criticizing them more than clothes.
Another person ran to the tweet of the US ambassador to the United Nations and left a message:
"Does that mean that, as ordinary citizens (and now Meghan and Harry are), I can just come and see you and leave the taxpayers to bear all the costs?"
"Ordinary citizens, without any official position in the government, without professional knowledge, but just very rich, can meet U.S. government officials?" Is this normal? Privileges can still buy access. Or so it seems. ”
"Why can they get received by our U.S. ambassador?" One is a former actress, the other is a former member of another country's royal family, who do they represent? They are using taxpayer money to market themselves. Shamefully, the ambassador should step down. ”
"I was really confused, it looked as if they were still representing the Queen. It seems to be on a formal royal visit. Maybe it's time to strip them of the titles of Duke and Duchess? They are no longer members of the royal family. ”
…
With such hospitality and security specifications, I don't know, I really think that they are visiting the United States on behalf of the Queen...
It seems that New York really values them...
