Prince Harry was left visibly flustered at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York after his teleprompter cut out mid-address, forcing an awkward pause before an audience of world leaders and industry figures. The stumble went viral, overshadowing a packed schedule of engagements during UN General Assembly week. Harry, 42, flew to Manhattan barely a month after relocating with Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, back to Britain in late August.

At the Skift Global Forum, Harry spoke movingly of Princess Diana, saying her death drove him to explore the world, particularly Africa and Botswana.

Botswana's president Duma Boko accidentally called Harry a US 'citizen' while praising his conservation work at a National Geographic event.

Harry also attended the Diana Award and ServiceNow's Goals House NYC event, discussing AI, young people and the future of work.
