Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been pictured in New York as the Duchess prepares to speak at the 2025 Time100 Summit. The couple were photographed smiling as they arrived in the major US city.
Last week, Meghan was confirmed to be attending the event alongside celebrities like Demi Moore and Ryan Reynolds. Despite receiving an invite, the 43-year-old has not been featured on any of the five worldwide covers for TIME’s 100 most influential people list. She did not even make the list of the top 100 names.
The website states: “The fifth-annual TIME100 Summit will feature leaders from the global TIME community to spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world. Speakers for the day-long event include: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and founder of As ever, actor and producer.”
Harry, 40, and Meghan were previously featured on the front cover of Time Magazine in 2021.
It remains unknown whether they will attend the TIME100 Gala – which will take place tomorrow, after the summit.
The magazine has five different personalities gracing the worldwide covers and has revealed its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world for 2025. Those on the list includes tennis player – and Meghan’s friend – Serena Williams and singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran.
The couple appeared to have travelled to New York City without their children, Prince Archie, 5, and three-year-old Princess Lilibet.

Despite an apparent snub from TIME’s 100 most influential people list, Meghan will likely be delighted for Serena – who she refers to as Archie and Lilibet’s “auntie”.
The former tennis player and entrepreneur previously featured in one of Meghan’s recent Instagram stories alongside Lilibet.
Although appearing alongside his wife today, Harry is set to travel to Beverly Hills later this week to attend a prestigious awards ceremony. The Duke of Sussex is set to attend the 22nd Living Legends of Aviation awards, which will take place on April 25.
