William and Kate visit Boston Harbour Defences
Prince William and Kate are set to present awards at the annual Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony on Friday alongside Rami Malek, Catherine O’Hara and Shaileen Woodley.
This ceremony, which was founded by the Prince of Wales to inspire a new generation of climate innovators, comes amid a royal racism row and the drop of a headline-grabbing trailer for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new Netflix documentary.
On Friday, Prince and Princess of Wales are also scheduled to visit Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child in Cambridge followed by a short tour of the JFK Library with Caroline Kennedy.
This trip has been overshadowed by a racism scandal that erupted in the UK while the royal couple was en route to Boston. Prince William’s godmother, Lady Susan Hussey, was forced to resign as a Palace aide after making offensive remarks to a British charity boss. Ngozi Fulani, of Sistah Space, Britain’s leading domestic abuse charity for Black women, detailed a “traumatic” encounter in which she was asked what part of Africa she was from.
Then early on Thursday, Netflix released the first trailer for an exclusive documentary series in which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tell their side of several tumultuous years in the public eye.
