Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have arrived at the United Nations building in New York for a meeting with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

The couple will start their final day of their New York City tour speaking with Mr Guterres before attending climate change concert Global Citizen Live this evening.

With performances from Ed Sheeran, Sir Elton John, Kylie Minogue, Metallica and Coldplay the event aims to pressure world leaders to adopt vaccine equity policy to help end the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Friday Meghan and Harry visited Harlem’s PS 123 Mahalia Jackson school where overwhelmed children were pictured embracing the couple.

Mr de Blasio’s wife, the first lady of New York, writer and activist Chirlane McCray, and their son Dante de Blasio also joined the group.

Asked by a reporter if they were enjoying their trip to New York, Meghan, dressed in a black high-necked coat and black trousers, smiled and replied: “It’s wonderful to be back, thank you.”

The visit is the couple’s first public appearance together since the birth of their daughter Lilibet in June.

Their visit comes just two weeks after the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
