Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been known to pay tribute to their children in numerous ways over the years, never more so than with their fashion choices.

And its seems their outing in New York City on Thursday proved the perfect occasion for the Duke of Sussex to give a nod to his eldest child, Archie.

After a visit to the United Nations in the Big Apple, Prince Harry was seen exiting the building carrying a laptop bag embossed with the words ‘Archie’s papa’ in silver on the bottom right corner.

During the UN meeting, the pair are believed to have sat down for a discussion with US Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, to discuss the Covid-19 pandemic, racial injustice and mental health issues.

Thomas-Greenfield later shared a photo of the meeting on her Instagram account, describing the sit-down as ‘wonderful’.

Earlier in the day the couple visited the 9/11 Memorial at One World Trade Center with NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and several key figures in business.

For the outing the pair dressed in coordinated black ensembles, with Markle opting for a black Emporio Armani trench coat, turtleneck jumper, wide-leg trousers, and Aquazzura stilettos.

Markle later changed into a black skirt and camel coat, styled with a caramel-coloured handbag and tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Fans of the royals also noted that the Duchess of Sussex appears to have opted for a red tint in her hair for the visit, which marks a somewhat dramatic change for the dark-headed star.

It appears the couple are mixing their professional time in NYC with some much-needed downtime. On Wednesday, they were seen enjoying drinks at the Carlyle Hotel with their married friends Misha Noonoo and Mikey Heiss.
