US President Joe Biden will meet the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Catherine in Boston on Friday while they were here for the British royal family’s philanthropic work, the White House said.
While talking to reporters, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, “The President intends to greet the Prince and Princess of Wales when he is in Boston – we are still finalizing and working through the details.” She added, “I don’t have anything more to share, any more specifics to share on that.” The royal couple, William and Catherine, arrived in the US on Wednesday, CNN reported.
The couple will present awards given out by the Earth shot Prize, an organization founded by William to help entrepreneurs with solutions to climate change and environmental issues.
The prize was found way back in 2020 in the hope of harnessing the world’s smartest minds to confront some of the most pressing environmental challenges facing humanity. Each year for the next decade, five winners will receive Euro 1 million (around USD 1.12 million) to fund their creative solutions to the climate crisis, according to CNN.
This visit is the first tour of the royal couple to the US since Queen Elizabeth II died in September, the first time they touch US soil since Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, left Britain for a more private life in California.
