Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will return to New York just months after their "near catastrophic" car chase with paparazzi.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit the Big Apple on October 10 to mark Mental Health Day.
The couple's foundation will host its first in-person event which has been billed as The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age.
The goal of the event is to give a voice to families who are passionate about building a safer online world for children and teens.

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said regarding the event: "The families have been engaged with The Archewell Foundation for the past year, bolstering community and driving towards solutions."
They added: "Together, they are united in their mission to share personal experiences, data, and research to ensure the same does not happen to other families."
It comes just five months after Meghan and Harry claimed they were involved in a "catastrophic car chase" in New York.
In May 2023, the Duchess of Sussex dazzled during the 50th anniversary of the Ms Foundation for Women's award ceremony, where she received the Women of Vision Award.

A radiant Meghan was pictured beaming throughout the event while a visibly proud Prince Harry supported his wife alongside her mother Doria.
However, the appearance is remembered for a strongly worded statement issued by a spokesperson for Prince Harry, where it was claimed the Sussexes had been in a "near catastrophic" car chase for two hours the night before.
However, as further details came to light, contradictions began to emerge.
The New York Police Department's Julian Phillips said "there were no reported collisions, summonses, injuries or arrests" during what the Sussexes had labelled a "relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours".

Sukhcharn Singh, a taxi driver who drove one of the three vehicles Meghan and Harry were in during the two hours, described their account of what happened as "exaggerated".
Singh went on to warn the public "don't read too much into that" regarding the couple's statement, as well as saying he never felt in danger and would not call what unfolded a 'car chase'.

The couple suffered another embarrassing blow when the paparazzi agency Backgrid publicly replied to Meghan and Harry's demand to hand over all photos and videos taken by their photographers during the incident.
Backgrid's witty response declining the request and telling Prince Harry "his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago" left the couple open to further mockery.
