Prince Harry, the third in line to the British throne is headed to New York for his first formal overseas engagement outside Britain this month. This will be Harrys first visit to the United States since the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
The recently single royal heart throb is due to begin a two day visit to New York to combine fundriasing events and official functions. On May 29th, Harry will be making a trip to visit the World Trade Center site. He will attend a naming ceremony for the British Memorial Garden in Hanover Square, commemorating the British victims of the 9/11 attacks. Harry will also pay a visit to the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Manhattan to meet with wounded veterans and along with Lesotho's Prince Seeiso, will visit the Harlem's Children's Zone, a nonprofit organization that has been around since the 1970's.
On May 30th, the 24 year old Prince will play in a charity exhibition polo match at the 2nd Annual Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic on Governors Island; the first event in a series commemorating New York's 400th anniversary. The charity event will raise funds for American Friends of Sentebale, a US-based charity supporting at-risk children in Lesotho. Sentebale is a charity co-founded in 2006 by Prince Harry and Lesotho's Prince Seeiso to help the orphans of Lesotho, Africa in honor of their mothers. The public is invited to attend the charity polo match free of charge, with admission, or with VIP tickets. Tickets to the 2nd Annual Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic have been available since May 1st. Later that evening, an after party will be held at New York City's Pink Elephant Nightclub where a portion of sales from Veuve Clicquot will benefit American Friends of Sentebale as well.
It's looking to be a busy 2 days for the hard-partying royal hottie. I wonder if we'll see him at Pink Elephant or hanging out at New York's famous night clubs while he's in town.
