Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's key move that shows they're 'trying to become US royals'

Royal fans were left divided after they spotted a member of Prince Harry's entourage sporting a very particular accessory during his visit to New York.

The Duke of Sussex headed to the Big Apple this week to attend a number of events during UN General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Week.

On Monday, he joined two winners of the Diana Legacy Award on stage to discuss the global mental health crisis facing young people and appeared at a private engagement with conservation group African Parks on Monday.

He also spoke at an event for The Halo Trust, the landmine clearance charity supported by his mother, the late Princess of Wales.

And it was during his departure from the last event when the Duke was photographed with his team and one of them donning a brand-new Sussex pin.

Prince Harry's US visa row takes surprising 'suspicious' twist after latest update

The latest ruling regarding Prince Harry's US visa application has been labelled "suspicious" by the same conservative Washington DC think-tank which initiated the requests to have the Duke's immigration documents published.

Earlier this week, a judge ruled that the Duke of Sussex's US visa application should remain private despite him admitting to taking drugs in his memoir, Spare.

The latest update prompted the executive director of the think-tank's Oversight Project, Mike Howell, to say that the "Prince Harry scandal just got a lot more suspicious".

Lady Louise managed to avoid need for 'formal university agreement' unlike Prince William

Lady Louise Windsor managed to avoid the need for a "formal university agreement" - unlike Prince William.

The teenage royal - who was frequently referred to as the late Queen Elizabeth II's favourite grandchild - began her final year of studies at the Scottish-based university earlier this month.

Expert spots clue Harry and Meghan are set to decline invite to spend Christmas in UK

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been invited back to the UK to spend Christmas here but it's unlikely that the pair will make the move with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lillibet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been invited to celebrate the festive season at Althorp House with Harry's maternal uncle, Charles, Earl Spencer, the Express revealed earlier this month.

But with the Prince in an ongoing legal battle with the government regarding the couple's tax-funded security detail, which was cut after the pair dropped their royal titles and duties, it's not probable they will return.
