Prince Harry was spotted with celebrity chef José Andrés in New York during Bill Clinton’s annual conference, despite Andrés’ recent partnership with Prince William’s Earthshot Prize.
The pair appeared cordial as they posed side by side for a photograph, which Andrés later shared on X.
Andrés wrote: “Another incredible year at @ClintonGlobal …catching up with good friends and getting inspired by so many grassroots leaders on the frontlines of creating a better world!”
The chef, who founded World Central Kitchen, has been a key ally of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during their first years in the US.

Harry and Andrés have a history of collaboration through World Central Kitchen.
The chef previously praised the Sussexes in their 2020-22 impact report, calling them “dear friends” who bring hope to communities.
The report detailed their joint philanthropic partnership, stating: “AWF and Chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen (WCK) established a joint philanthropic partnership in service of strengthening local communities around the world through the power of food.”

Their efforts included support for climate disaster relief in Puerto Rico and Dominica, as well as emergency food aid for various global crises.
Andrés’ recent involvement with Prince William’s Earthshot Prize had raised questions about his relationship with Harry.
However, their cordial interaction at the Clinton Global Initiative suggests ongoing amiability.
During the conference, Prince Harry delivered a speech addressing the harmful effects of social media on children.

“Young people are kept there by mindless, endless, numbing scrolling—being force-fed content that no child should ever be exposed to. This is not free will.”
