The Duke of Sussex may have only just landed back in Los Angeles after his whirlwind trip to New York but his next engagement there has already been announced.

Prince Harry will appear alongside musician Jon Bon Jovi at the inaugural Intrepid Valour Awards being held in Manhattan on November 10 — the day before Remembrance Day, which is Veteran's Day in the US.

Harry — who served in two tours of Afghanistan as a soldier in the British Army — will present five awards to service members, veterans and military families "living with the invisible wounds of war" during the Salute to Freedom gala.

The military gala will be held at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum along the Hudson River, where Bon Jovi will be given a lifetime achievement award.

Prince Harry and Bon Jovi worked together to create a new anthem for the Duke of Sussex's Invictus Games — an Olympics-like sporting event for wounded servicemen and women.

Harry is set to make this trip to New York solo and will not be joined by wife Meghan Markle.

The couple have just returned to their new base in Montecito after a three-day visit to NYC at the end of last week for their headline appearance at New York's Global Citizen event, held in Central Park.
