- Story Text: Prince Harry and his wife Meghan hit the red carpet in New York, just days before the release of a much-anticipated Netflix documentary about them and their royal journey.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex received the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award on Tuesday (December 6).
The couple was recognized for their work in racial justice and mental health through their Archewell Foundation.
The award comes as Prince Harry said Britain's royal household regularly leak stories about each other, calling it "a dirty game" in a new trailer released on Monday for the much-anticipated Netflix documentary series about him and his wife Meghan.
The first three episodes of the series will be available on Thursday, the streaming service said, amid widespread speculation over what the couple, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will say about the other royals.
Since Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duties two years ago and moved to California they have delivered stinging criticism of the British monarchy and accusations of racism, accusations that the family has dismissed.
The prince has suggested in interviews he is now barely on speaking terms with the rest of the family, most notably with his father, King Charles, and elder brother, Prince William, the heir to the throne.
Actor Alec Baldwin, who was involved in a deadly shooting on the set of the Western movie "Rust," in which a gun that Baldwin was using during rehearsal killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, also attended the gala.
When asked about the Royals he said, "good for them," while adding that sometimes he would like to change his life. "Sometimes I think I want to choose a different path, so we will see," he said. "Maybe I can be their driver," he added
