Prince Harry steps out for first time since cringe interview
Prince Harry has stepped out in Las Vegas to launch a new youth initiative, just days after his startling interview with the BBC. It marks his first public appearance since revealing that he and his father, King Charles, are not on talking terms. The Duke of Sussex visited Vegas to announce the Pledge to Invest scheme in collaboration with the Diana Award, which empowers young people to lead change all over the world. The scheme is designed as an 'opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to make a strategic, measurable and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership.' The Duke appeared to set aside ongoing family rifts during the visit, speaking on a panel with two young recipients of The Legacy Award, an honour established to celebrate his late mother's extraordinary humanitarian work. 'Through The Diana Award, I've had the privilege of meeting young people who have turned adversity into action. That's not just inspiring—it's the kind of untapped potential we can't afford to overlook,' said The Duke. 'Far too many young people are locked out of leadership pipelines because we've failed to build truly inclusive and accessible pathways. 'This generation isn't waiting for permission to lead—they are already doing it,' he continued. 'They bring emotional intelligence, social awareness, and an honesty about mental health that previous generations struggled to express.' If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

While extending an olive branch, he also told the BBC it is unlikely he will return to the UK with his family due to ongoing security concerns. 'I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.'

Prince Harry to break cover for 1st time since bombshell interview – as Meghan celebrates Archie's birthday without him
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCE Harry is set to break cover as he makes a public appearance for the first time since his bombshell interview where he hit out at his family. The Duke of Sussex will be in Las Vegas, Nevada, tonight to launch his Pledge to Invest scheme in collaboration with the Diana Award, while Meghan Markle celebrates young Prince Archie's sixth birthday without him. 6 Prince Harry is set to break cover for the first time since his bombshell BBC interview as he appears to launch a new youth initiative in Las Vegas Credit: AFP 6 The Duke of Sussex will also miss his son Archie's sixth birthday celebrations, as the young prince stays at home with mum Meghan Credit: Getty 6 The Duchess of Sussex shared a stunning picture of Archie to celebrate his birthday today Credit: instagram It comes just days after Harry let rip in a bombshell BBC interview where he blamed the royal family and dad King Charles over his loss in a long-running legal battle for his taxpayer-funded security. Harry will be in Vegas in order to launch the new youth initiative, which is designed as an "opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to make a strategic, measurable and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership." While away, the Duke of Sussex will also meet two young recipients of The Legacy Award, which was set up in the memory of his late mum Diana and honours exceptional social action and humanitarian work. It means Meghan will be celebrating alone with Archie and his younger sister Lilibet at their home in Montecito, California. This comes as the Duchess of Sussex shared a sweet picture of Prince Archie for his birthday celebrations. The young prince was snapped leaning on a barrier and wearing striped clothes as he gazes off into the sea, with the sun setting in the background. A halo-like effect is also made by the sun around the young prince's head in the rare snap. This won't be the first time Harry has missed Archie's birthday, after the royal skipped the celebrations two years ago due to his attendance at the coronation of his dad, King Charles. But overhanging his visit to Las Vegas today will be his recent outburst made in an interview last week, after he lost his appeal to keep his taxpayer-funded security in the UK. In the scathing attack, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a host of new claims including how dad Charles is no longer speaking to him and how he's "uncovered his worst fears". Hypocrite Meghan using Archie & Lilibet to make a point & play games with new pic - we're fed up, blasts royal expert He claimed to "love reconciliation" with the royal family, after years of feuding with the Firm, including with his own brother William, ever since Meghan and he stood down as working royals in 2020. In the interview, he said: "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," but he admitted he had finally "forgiven" them. On top of this, he lashed out at his dad King Charles for "not speaking" to him. An emotional Harry said: "He [King Charles] won't speak to me because of this security stuff." 6 Prince Harry lashed out at the royal family in an astonishing TV interview on Friday night 6 Just days after the shocking interview, Meghan posted a snap of Harry and their two kids Lilibet and Archie walking in a garden Credit: meghan / Instagram 6 Harry lost his long-running legal battle over his taxpayer-funded security last week Credit: AFP He also chillingly suggested that it would be the Firm's fault if anything happened to him or wife Meghan Markle. Harry admitted he missed the UK and that it was "sad" he won't be able to show his children his homeland. He said his three-and-a-half year legal battle always mattered more to him than anything else - including his privacy rows with the press. Prince Harry added he had no regrets after repeatedly attacking his family - and admitted "some will never forgive me". The Duke of Sussex blamed his family for his humiliating court defeat today - but insisted he still wants a reconciliation. Despite his claims, Harry insisted he had no regrets even if his family will never forgive him. In response, Buckingham Palace issued this statement: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion." HARRY LAUNCHES NEW YOUTH INITIATIVE Harry will hope that his recent furore will not detract from the launching of his new youth initiative, Pledge to Invest. The scheme is designed as an "opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to make a strategic, measurable and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership." Tessy Ojo, chief executive of The Diana Award, which was set up in tribute to Princess Diana, said: "Companies that invest in youth leadership today are cultivating the workforce, innovators and consumers of tomorrow. "The Diana Award is proud to launch Pledge To Invest - an opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to make a strategic, measurable and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership. "For over 25 years, The Diana Award has invested in young people, empowering them to tackle the pressing issues of our time." Paul Fipps, of Service Now, said he is "proud to partner with Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and The Diana Award to provide a platform that encourages other business leaders to invest in young people".

May 6 also happens to be the sixth birthday of Harry and wife Meghan Markle's son Prince Archie.

Much like two years ago when Prince Harry flew to the U.K. to attend his father King Charles' coronation on May 6, 2023, the Duke of Sussex will be out of town for at least part of son Prince Archie's birthday today. Archie, who was born on May 6, 2019, turns six years old on Tuesday, and Harry will be away from home for at least part of the day, traveling to Las Vegas for an important engagement connected to his late mother, Princess Diana. Getty Princess Diana Princess Diana Hello! reported that Harry is launching a new initiative in collaboration with The Diana Award, the only award named in honor of the late Princess of Wales, who died in a 1997 car accident. The young leaders Harry will meet with are recipients of The Legacy Award, recognizing their social action and humanitarian work, and the Duke of Sussex will meet with Sikander 'Sonny' Khan, who hails from Michigan; Jamaica's Christina Williams; and Paul Phipps of Service Now at the Knowledge 2025 event.

In 2012, Vegas was the site of a notorious party where 'compromising pictures of a naked prince emerged following a game of 'strip billiards' with a group of young women,' The Times reported. Harry later wrote of the incident in his 2023 memoir, Spare, writing, 'How had I let it happen? How had I been so stupid?' Yui Mok -Prince William and Prince Harry on July 1, 2021 Prince William and Prince Harry on July 1, 2021 The Diana Award is one of the few links Harry and older brother Prince William still have to one another, despite their ongoing rift. 'Both brothers are still associated with the award, although they have remained separate in their support for the initiative,' according to The Times. Read the original article on InStyle
