Prince Harry is set for a potential return to the US less than a month after arriving in the UK with his family.
On Thursday, the Duke of Sussex, 41, was announced as a participant in the upcoming Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) 2026 meeting, which takes place in New York City from 22 to 23 September.
It's not been confirmed whether the Duke will be attending in person or virtually. However, when he previously attended the CGI in 2024, it was an in-person appearance.
If he does attend in person, it will be his first known trip back to the US since returning to Britain with his wife Meghan Markle and children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet at the end of August.

Other participants include "global leaders across philanthropy, business, government", such as Chrissy Teigen, Reid Hoffman, David Miliband, and Carey Mulligan.
It is convened by former President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
Prince Harry's powerful previous appearance at the summit
Harry previously spoke about online safety when he appeared at the summit in 2024. He was a star guest at the end of a 90-minute session entitled Everything Everywhere All At Once.
During his speech on stage, he shared a personal photograph on his phone lock screen featuring a photograph of his children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five.

He said: "I stand before you today to speak about the pervasive threat that our online world poses to us, especially our children.
"If we allow the status quo to remain in an age where our lives are intertwined with technology, we cannot afford to only see the online world as a space for profitability, competition, and rapid growth instead."
The latest details after King's letter to Harry and Meghan
It comes after Prince Harry and Meghan said they were "caught off guard" and "surprised" by a letter sent on behalf of King Charles on Monday, stating they would be treated as "private citizens".
Harry’s father, Charles, asked the Royal Household’s most senior officer, the Lord Chamberlain, to write to senior stakeholders within the Government and the military, setting out guidelines on their status.

Shortly afterwards, Uganda's military chief announced the country would be withdrawing from Harry's Invictus Games due to "Harry and Meghan nonsense", according to The Times.
HELLO! understands that the Duke spoke directly to his father during his first week back in the UK; however, details have not been made public.
