The Duke and Duchess of Sussex delivered their first ever in-person Archewell event

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry took a seven-car convoy to the World Mental Health Day festival in New York City, despite only travelling around a single block.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex travelled from a garage near the Equinox Hotel in Hudson Yards.


They took a left turn on 33rd Street, only to end up in another garage on the same road.

The distance came to a total of 200 feet, however, the couple still insisted on bringing seven SUVs.

These cars were also flanked by NYPD escorts on the Manhattan streets, so that there could be no repeat of the couple's "near catastrophic" car chase the last time they were in New York.

This happened after Harry, Meghan and her mother Doria Ragland attended the Women of Vision Awards in May this year.

After the short journey, the couple hosted a panel discussion at the World Mental Health Day Festival.

This was their first-ever in-person event for their charity, the Archewell Foundation.
