Prince Harry appeared to make a subtle yet pointed remark directed at the Royal Family while attending an event in New York City.

The 40-year-old, a resident of California, made an unexpected appearance at the NEXUS Global Summit on Friday, June 27.

During his address to an audience of young philanthropists and impact investors, Harry spoke about his personal journey, from being born into a life of service to discovering his own life's purpose.

As reported by PEOPLE, Harry then seemed to take a veiled swipe at his family, urging attendees to "take care of each other and our children in the future."

He then encouraged attendees to "tackle the systems instead of the symptoms keeping us down."

The three-day gathering is focused on finding solutions to pressing generational challenges.

This trip marks Harry's latest excursion away from his family, including his two children, Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, in California.
