Prince Harry’s solo engagements are "hugely significant," royal commentator Charles Rae has claimed.
The duke has embarked on a series of solo engagements in New York, after after recent independent appearances including a charity event in California where Meghan was reportedly absent due to illness.
Speaking about this on GB News, royal commentator Charles Rae said: "It is hugely significant that Harry is doing this solo.
"He was at the Kevin Costner charity event just before he flew over to New York. That's an event to raise funds for the emergency services. And he was there alone."

Rae cautioned against reading too much into Meghan's absence, stating: "Meghan apparently was sick... I'm assuming that was a truthful excuse for not to be there, but she was there last year.
"You would expect that she would have been with him in New York."

He added: "I mean, these two are usually glued together. Let's not forget about that. I don't think we should look at any track in the marriage or anything like that."
He explained that it was great to see Harry attending these sorts of events alone, and claimed it is a "lightbulb moment" for the duke.
He said: "It's actually nice to see Prince Harry doing these sort of things without uttering one word of criticism of his family.
"It seems to me that some sort of light bulb has been switched on, and he suddenly realised he doesn't need to do the Netflix or Spotify or any other things to get by in this world."

Royal expert Phil Dampier told The Sun: "It is significant that he is doing so much on his own now.
"They are living more separate lives as it looks like Harry is trying to carve out what exactly his future is."
Harry and Meghan left the UK in 2020, and moved to CaliforniaReutersHarry's upcoming engagement in London, hosting the WellChild Awards, marks another significant solo appearance.
