Prince Harry visits WTC site in 1st US trip

NEW YORK — Prince Harry has arrived in lower Manhattan on his first official visit to the United States.

His first stop was the World Trade Center site, where he laid a wreath with a handwritten note and bowed his head for several minutes at a spot overlooking the Sept. 11 memorial.

The 24-year-old prince also walked around the World Trade Center site and looked at the plans fo rebuilding it. At one point he asked an official, “Big question — when is this supposed to be finished?”

The prince was to visit a garden memorializing Sept. 11 victims and a veterans center in Manhattan later Friday.

He then spoke to relatives of four 9/11 victims and toured the site and a firehouse across from ground zero.
