The whole world looked excitedly to New York on Thursday: There Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan met with Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Kathy Hochul. The Sussexes were allegedly accompanied by a bodyguard from the US Department of the Interior.

It was her first public appointment in the Big Apple. Prince Harry, 37, and Duchess Meghan, 40, met Mayor Bill de Blasio, 60, and Governor Kathy Hochul, 63, at the One World Observatory in New York on Thursday, September 23, 2021. They followed them at every turn with a bodyguard in a light gray suit, black shoes and black mouth and nose protection in the background.

As the British “Daily Mail” reports, the man is said to be an employee of the United States Department of Homeland Security. He was also waiting for the couple in front of the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan, which costs around $ 1,300 a night. The bodyguard told a reporter that he was from the DHS, but did not provide any further information on whether the government had assigned him to the Sussexes’ visit to New York. This honor is otherwise not even given to big stars.

In addition to a visit to the “9/11” memorial and the One World Trade Center, where numerous police officers from the New York Police Department gathered, they also took a trip to the UN Plaza, where the General Assembly meets. It is believed that Harry and Meghan met with US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield there. The NYPD refused to comment when asked by the Daily Mail whether the police were there to guard the memorial or to protect the couple.

The Federal Ministry includes a number of agencies such as police services, including the Secret Service, the Federal Protective Service and Homeland Security Investigations. The Secret Service typically only protects visiting heads of state and their immediate family members in the United States, it is said. Less important dignitaries, on the other hand, are protected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
