Sarah Ferguson has headed to New York during Prince Harry’s week of engagements despite her gesture towards King Charles.
The Duchess of York took to social media to announce she travelled to New York City for climate week, the same reason why the Duke of Sussex is currently visiting the city.
She wrote: “I have the pleasure of being in New York for this year’s Climate Week and want to bring you behind the scenes!
“It was so inspiring to meet so many motivated young people who are looking to make the future a much more positive place to be.

Fergie accompanied the caption with a candid video, showing the duchess enjoying a hotdog on the streets of NYC.
Prince Harry, 40, is also in New York to celebrate Climate Week.
He is undertaking a series of engagements to honour the legacy of his late mother, Princess Diana.
It comes as the Duchess of York previously cancelled her trip to Australia, due to take place in October, to not clash with King Charles’s royal tour.
A statement was released which read: “With regret, Sarah, Duchess of York has decided to withdraw from the Festival of Fiction, so as not to distract or detract in any way from the tour of Australia by His Majesty the King, which has recently been announced.
“Due to exceptional demand, she will be returning to Perth on November 1st at 6.30pm for a special event at Joondalup Resort and apologises to anyone who is inconvenienced by the change of date.”
Climate change is something incredibly close to Sarah’s heart, particularly as a grandmother.

She told the Telegraph last year: “Now, as I embark on a new phase of life as a grandmother to August, Sienna and Wolfie, my love for nature is translating into a sense of urgency about climate change and the environment.
“I feel strongly that my generation has a responsibility to hand a sustainable planet on to our grandchildren.”
The exciting trip to New York came just days after her granddaughter Sienna’s third birthday last week.
