Prince Harry has returned to the United States of America with responsibilities!
The Duke of Sussex has made his first-ever public appearance after he marked an "off-camera" reunion with King Charles III and Queen Camilla during his five-day trip to the United Kingdom last week.
A few days after he landed in the country, Harry, 41, attended a special event organised by TIME magazine to honour the Duke over his exceptional contributions in hosting the Invictus Games.
The estranged British Royal Family member stepped out solo to mark the surprise appearance at TIME's 100 Most Influential People in Sports red carpet.
Prince Harry's cheeky response on his first appearance
As the father of two made a stylish appearance, his cheeky persona grabbed the attention of cameras, as he jokingly admitted to the media that they were the "most polite" photographers.
Before his appearance, the popular American tabloid also honoured Harry for his work with the Invictus Games.
Speaking about his achievement, the youngest son of His Majesty said, "I thought, ‘Wow, look at the power of sport, look at how it is literally changing lives in front of my very eyes."
"It was so clear to me. Let’s invite as many countries as possible to make it international, because clearly more countries need to benefit from this," the prince added.
