King Charles Visits Harlem Urban Farm During U.S. State Visit

The stop signals a soft-power push rooted in his climate focus.

Overview

  • King Charles III visited Harlem Grown, an after-school urban farm, during a four-day U.S. state visit on Wednesday, planting seeds and feeding chickens with students.
  • The nonprofit on West 134th Street teaches kids about nutrition and turns vacant lots into community gardens that help address food insecurity.
  • He watched a cooking demo using produce from the site and chatted with children, including one who told him, "I like your hair."
  • Queen Camilla made a separate stop at the New York Public Library, the first by a royal, where she delivered a Roo doll to the library’s Winnie-the-Pooh collection.
  • The Harlem stop followed a wreath-laying at the 9/11 Memorial and led into business and charity events in Midtown, including a Rockefeller Plaza meeting and a King’s Trust reception.
