It's unclear what the purpose of the couple's meeting with the Democratic politicians in the state of New York is. According to the outlet, De Blasio's wife, Chirlaine McCray, and the couple's 24-year-old son, Dante, were also present to welcome the royal couple.
Days ago it was revealed that Harry and Meghan would be arriving to New York City for an appearance at the Global Citizen Live event.
The 24-hour event will be broadcast live from the Great Lawn in New York City's Central Park. The event will feature appearances from a bevy of stars to promote equal access to the coronavirus vaccine to world leaders. Specifically, the campaign is calling on G7 countries and the European Union to share at least 1 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses to those most in need.

The Duchess of Sussex delivered an impassioned speech that urged citizens of the world to get vaccinated and help ensure COVID-19 vaccines are distributed for an "equitable and compassionate tomorrow."
"As campaign chairs of VAX LIVE, my husband and I believe it's critical that our recovery prioritizes the health, safety and success of everyone, and particularly women who have been disproportionately affected by this pandemic," Meghan said in a pre-recorded video message, which was played during the concert’s broadcast.
