Prince Harry visits British Garden in Lower Manhattan
Prince Harry today visited Hanover Square in Lower Manhattan, officially naming it the British Memorial Garden, which serves as a tribute to the 67 Britons who died in the World Trade Center attacks in 2001.
On Saturday he will play in a polo match on Governors Island, which will be open to the public. There will be free viewing areas, as well as paid VIP areas, with proceeds benefiting the American Friends of Sentebale, a U.S.-based charity that supports at-risk children in Lesotho, Africa.
The trip is HRH Prince Henry of Wales first-ever formal visit to the United States.
Earlier Friday, he laid a wreath at the site of the World Trade Center.
