It’s been eight years since Prince William and Princess Kate stepped onto American shores.
The last time they were in the States, on a visit to NYC back in December 2014, Prince William was not even a full-time working royal.
His brother, Prince Harry, was still single and his future bride Meghan Markle was merely an actress on “Suits.”
But as William and Kate — the new Prince and Princess of Wales since Queen Elizabeth’s September 8 death and Prince Charles becoming king — arrive in Boston Wednesday to present the Earthshot Prize, it’s with a clear mission to show how much things have changed. And to claim the crown of the royal family’s No. 1 couple.
Although palace sources are keen to stress that the Waleses’ US visit is not an official tour, there’s a lot riding on the three-day trip — particularly as Harry and Meghan will jet to NYC on December 6, just four days after Kate and William leave the States, to pick up the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope award.
