Before this, he attended the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting and the Skift Global Forum. At the former event, he spoke about the negative side of AI, but 10 minutes into his speech, he was cut short by a technical error. He did resume later on, cracking a joke about the delayed speech and shedding light on how AI affects our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Botswana&#8217;s president calls Prince Harry &#8220;almost a citizen&#8221; during New York appearance<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Prince Harry also attended two other major events, the National Geographic &amp; De Beers Okavango Eternal event at the Jardin de Sur Madison during his brief US trip. He was joined by the president of Botswana, Duma Boko, and National Geographic Explorer, Dr. Steve Boyes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Boko appreciated Harry for his continued efforts for the country, describing him as almost a citizen of their country, particularly the Okavango Delta. These remarks come after the <a data-ylk=\"slk:Duke of Sussex;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1857441-prince-harry-us-return-nyc-ai-speech-technical-issue\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Duke of Sussex<\/a> shared his story about when he started to travel the world and what it had taught him. He said that he first visited Botswana shortly after his mother,Princess Diana died in August 1997. Over the years, he added that he has perceived Okavango not just as an &#8220;extraordinary place&#8221; but also &#8220;as a living system that sustains wildlife, communities and livelihoods.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He emphasized how many easily forget that when such destinations are spoken of as an industry, they are not just places where one can travel but are also home. This US outing comes nearly a month after the Sussexes moved to the UK for an extended period of time. Currently, they are residing in the UK at a non-royal base and aren&#8217;t provided taxpayer-funded security. Their relocation came over a month after their private reunion with King Charles at Highgrove House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a data-ylk=\"slk:Prince Harry Gets Unexpected Tribute During Surprise NYC Stop;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1858531-prince-harry-suprise-stops-bostwana-citizen-us-nyc-trip\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Prince Harry Gets Unexpected Tribute During Surprise NYC Stop<\/a> appeared first on <a data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry&#8217;s New York City trip continued with two additional stops.
