Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Set for Extended U.S. Visit
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are gearing up for more adventures across the pond.
While it's no secret that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have captured the hearts of many Americans, Prince William and Kate Middleton are determined to make their mark during an extended visit to the United States.
According to royal editor Omid Scobie, who shared insights with Yahoo News, the couple is planning to turn their upcoming trip to Boston into a full-fledged U.S. royal tour.
Initially, it was known that William and Kate would be attending the Earthshot Prize ceremony in Boston this December.
However, recent reports suggest that they have ambitious plans for additional engagements while in the country.
This includes a high-profile fundraising event and a possible stop in Washington D.C., marking their first visit to the U.S. in eight years.
It's understandable that William and Kate might not enjoy the same level of popularity as Harry and Meghan, especially since the latter duo has made America their home.
Nevertheless, sources close to the couple indicate that William is eager for his charitable work to resonate beyond the confines of the royal bubble.
He believes that establishing a presence in the vast American charitable landscape could have significant impact.
Interestingly, this news coincides with some rather scandalous rumors swirling around Prince William.
A recent blind item on Instagram suggested that he may be involved in an affair—a claim that seems to have become an open secret among British aristocrats.
This gossip even sparked a trending hashtag on Twitter for a day.
However, it remains to be seen if these rumors will overshadow the couple's forthcoming plans.
