Prince Harry is expected to miss his son Archie's sixth birthday to attend an event in Las Vegas. This marks the second time he will be absent on Archie's special day. In 2023, he skipped the festivities to attend King Charles' coronation.
The Duke of Sussex is scheduled to launch a new initiative in collaboration with The Diana Award in Las Vegas on May 6. This coincides with Archie's birthday celebration. The Diana Award's Pledge to Invest initiative aims to highlight the future of youth leadership.
During his trip, Harry will meet two young recipients of The Legacy Award. This prize is given to exceptional individuals in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales. Meanwhile, Archie will celebrate his birthday at home with Meghan in Montecito.
The royal is expected to participate in a panel discussion at the Knowledge 2025 event. This event will also feature Sikander 'Sonny' Khan, Christina Williams, and Paul Fipps. The award, established in memory of his late mother, honors exceptional social action and humanitarian work.
This trip follows a previous controversial visit to Las Vegas in 2012. That escapade resulted in photos of a naked Prince Harry being published worldwide. Harry later expressed regret for the incident in his autobiography, Spare.
