PRINCE William is set to visit New York next month – but it’s understood he has no plans to see US-based Harry while there.
The Duke of Cambridge is gathering his 2021 Earthshot Prize winners for a major summit in the Big Apple.
It would take him more than six hours to fly from New York to the Duke of Sussex‘s home in California – making it difficult for the brothers to meet during the fleeting trip.
Wills, 40, set up the Earthshot scheme last year, paying out £50million to projects around the world that find ways to save the planet.
And he is due to continue its success next month, attending a summit in New York during NYC Climate Week and the 77th Session of the UN General Assembly.
There, the Duke will address guests alongside billionaire Michael Bloomberg – who is also Global Advisor to the winners of The Earthshot Prize.

It comes just weeks after Prince Harry, 37, addressed a fringe meeting of the United Nations in New York to mark Nelson Mandela’s birthday.
The Duke of Sussex is also set to fly back to the UK next month and stay at Frogmore Cottage, which is a short walk from William and Kate’s new family home at Adelaide Cottage.
But there are “no plans” for the brothers to meet during his flying visit.
Likewise, it is understood that William and Harry are not to meet when the Duke of Cambridge is in the US.
William is due to co-host The Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit on September 21, 2022 in New York City.
The Summit aims to drive impact around systems-changing climate solutions and amplify The Earthshot Prize’s call to accelerate progress to repair our planet through collaboration and bold innovation.
It will also begin the countdown to the 2022 Earthshot Prize awards in Boston in December.
Both Kate and William are set to be in Boston for the star-studded bash.
Bloomberg said: “Accelerating the world’s climate progress requires us to take urgent, ambitious action from every angle.

“As global leaders get set to gather in New York, the Bloomberg team is working with our partners Prince William and The Earthshot Prize to showcase the most innovative climate solutions and help them spread more quickly.
“We’ve been glad to support The Earthshot Prize from the beginning, and we look forward to helping even more climate leaders get their promising ideas off the ground.”
