Their latest day out in New York for the World Mental Health Day festival has once again caused buzz afresh, blending fashion with intent, presence with poise, and reminding the world that their iconic moments never occur in isolation.

Behind glitz, there is intent, as the Royal couple make their mark with mental health advocacy, in style.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle walked in hand-in-hand at the Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival on October 10, 2025, making a rare night out public appearance. They arrived in style at Spring Studios in New York City. The audience met them with a thunderous applause for their long-standing partnership via the Archewell Foundation's support for mental health advocacy and digital well-being for children and teenagers. They were invited to bring their visibility and voices along for the festival.

Amidst the busy day, Meghan Markle donned a significant look with a favorite striped blue and white Ralph Lauren button-down shirt, which she had previously worn at Wimbledon and Fourth of July celebrations, and a classy Loro Piana bag. The festival itself gathered the leaders, advocates, and communities to discuss the psychological effects of social media, resilience, and the development of compassionate systems of care. The Royal couple's long-standing mission to raise mental health awareness made them an eye-catching addition to the panel.
