Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are taking time away from their little ones for some R&R.
The former royal couple have plans to make their first-ever trip to New York City this fall.
Friends close to Harry & Meghan told Page Six that the couple is expected to arrive this week ahead of their appearance at Global Citizen Live taking place on Sunday.
According to a statement, the couple will “continue their urgent work with world leaders in the pursuit of global vaccine equity to end the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Their trip to the Big Apple is their first public trip since moving to California.
At this point in time, it does not appear that 2-year-old Archie and 3-month-old Lilibet will be joining their parents.
The source close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed to the outlet that this will be a more “romantic” trip for the couple.
Harry and Meghan welcomed their second child and first daughter back in June.
A spokesperson for the couple confirmed that Meghan gave birth to Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor on Friday, June 4, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA. “She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home,” the statement, posted on Archewell charity website read.
The announcement included a full explanation of the baby girl’s unique name.
“Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.” The statement continued, “The Duke and Duchess thank you for your warm wishes and prayers as they enjoy this special time as a family.”

This will be the first time Harry and Meghan have both been away from their children for an extended period of time.
The last time Harry was in NYC was back in 2013 after Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the tristate area.
Meghan last visited the city in 2019 for her $500,000.00 baby shower for Archie.
According to Page Six, the baby shower was held in the penthouse at the Mark Hotel. She flew in from London on Amal Clooney’s private jet for that trip.
A few months after her lavish baby shower, Meghan flew back to the Big Apple to support her friend Serena Williams in the US Open final.
This trip to New York City marks a return to work for the Sussexes, who have taken several months off following the birth of their daughter.
