I can't believe the Wales are in the US.

Prince William and Kate Middleton land in Boston for US trip amid royal race row | Daily Mail Online

?A black reverend began the Prince and Princess of Wales' Earthshot launch event today by giving a lecture about the 'legacy of colonialism and racism' - just hours after Buckingham Palace became embroiled in a furious race row when William's godmother was accused of making racist remarks at an event hosted by Queen Consort Camilla.

Just minutes before William and Kate took to the podium at the Boston launch event of the Prince's Earthshot Prize, Reverend Mariama White-Hammond - the city's Chief of Environment, Energy, and Open Space - gave a strong speech in which she told the crowd to 'consider the legacy of colonialism and racism', particularly when it comes to their impact on climate change.

As the Prince and Princess Wales watched on from the wings, Reverend Hammond, who founded a youth organization focused on 'teaching the history of the Civil Rights Movement', said: 'On this day, I invite us all to consider the legacy of colonialism and racism.'

She continued: 'The ways it has impacted people across the world and its connection, its deep connection to the degradation of land and our planet that we are all seeking to reverse. The stories lost, the species made extinct, but also the persistence of people in the face of oppression and the fundamental dignity of all of our relations.'

Although no mention was made about Lady Susan Hussey - former lady-in-waiting to the Queen and William's own godmother - who was accused of making racist comments to black domestic abuse campaigner Ngozi Fulani at a Buckingham Palace event on Tuesday night, few could fail to connect the controversy with Reverend White-Hammond's remarks.?

I wouldn?t mind attending a seminar on the History of the Civil Rights Movement given by the Rev Hammond. I?ve read quite a bit about it but only saw it from the other side of the Atlantic as a young teenager.

These crowds?. hundreds have come out for the Prince and Princess of Wales in Boston today. Kate and William had not planned a ?walkabout? but aides did not want to disappoint those waiting (plus its cold, very cold)

works to reduce levels of trauma, violence and incarceration, create sustained employment and support young parents. Brain science is key to everything they do, as is bringing parts of the public system together to create better outcomes for young people.

Glad to see that the Wales were able to fit in an unplanned walkabout today considering that so many people had come to see them especially since they'd been waiting in the cold.  Due to the travel restrictions from the past two years, the majority of Americans have not had  the opportunity to see senior members of the British Royal Family in person for an official visit.

Princess of Wales looks radiant in blue on first solo US tour engagement at Harvard | Daily Mail Online

Kate at Harvard to discuss Early Years, this has been the most most confident I've seen her. After so many years dedicating to her early years, childhood development, there is a reason!
