The royal family honored Prince William by sharing new pictures and information about his trip to the US. This gave the future king a real taste of New York City while he was there.

On Tuesday, the Prince of Wales started his day in New York City with a secret run in Central Park.

On Tuesday, the royal family released brand-new photos of Prince William’s talks, along with a caption that said, “Prince William is in New York to attend the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit this week. During his time in the city, His Royal Highness has visited the Billion Oyster Project and met with the UN Secretary General.”

Kate Middleton’s husband told a former winner of the Earthshot Prize, Vaitea Cowan, about his low-key outing at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, which was held at the Plaza Hotel. They were talking about his environmental project.

“Is it true?” she asked. “Did you go running in Central Park this morning?” William told Vaitea, “I did, Vaitea, yes. I decided to join the hordes of New Yorkers doing their morning routine.”

The oldest son of King Charles III also said, “It was wonderful waking up in New York on a sunny morning rather than the rain we had yesterday. It was beautiful getting some fresh air this morning.”

“It’s been wonderful to be back. I think 2014 was the last time I was here,” Prince George’s father said next.

Prince William added that he and Kate Middleton went on a royal tour that took them to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, a Brooklyn Nets game (where they met Jay-Z and Beyoncé!), a dinner at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other places.
