When Prince Harry attended meetings in New York City Thursday with his wife, Duchess Meghan, eagle-eyed observers noticed a very sweet detail on his briefcase.

Harry, 37, carried a briefcase monogrammed with the words "Archie's Papa," a reference to the 2-year-old son, Archie, he shares with Meghan.

The Sussexes are also the new parents of a daughter, Lilibet, nicknamed Lili, who was born in June.

The Sussexes' trip to New York City marked the first time the California-based couple has made an in-person public appearance together since Lili's birth.

They spent Friday at a public school in Harlem, where Meghan read her children's book "The Bench," to students.
