Inside Kate and William's US tour – and how it'll be different to Meghan Markle and Harry's £830k awards just days later | The Sun

PRINCE William and Kate Middleton are set to travel to the US for a series of engagements just days before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend a glitzy award bash.

It is the first time royals have headed over to the States since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview.


Wills and Kate will jet to the US on November 30 – their first official visit abroad since they became the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The couple will spend three days in Boston, Massachusetts, to attend the second Earthshot Prize Awards.

Kate will also take a solo trip to visit the Centre on the Developing Child at Harvard University, which works with her Centre for Early Childhood.

By coincidence, Harry and Meghan will also be hosted on the East Coast within days – but for a very different reason.

The pair will attend a lavish ceremony in New York to accept the Ripple of Hope award, which they are being given for taking a stance against "structural racism" in the Royal Family.

It comes after Meghan accused an unnamed royal of raising “concerns” about the “skin colour” of her and Harry’s children in her Oprah chat.

She declined to reveal the identity of the racist royal as it would be too "damaging" for them.

The ceremony – where tables are being sold for up to $1million (830k) – will take place on December 6, just days after Kate and Wills leave the US on December 2.

Meghan and Harry will be honoured by John F Ken­nedy’s niece, Kerry Kennedy, at the annual bash, which is organised by the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights foundation.

Kate and Wills will also rub shoulders with a member of the Kennedy family, as the Prince of Wales teams up with the former president's grandson, Jack Schlossberg.

But the warring brothers are not expected to see each other while Kate and Wills visit the US, where Harry and Meghan moved in 2020 after stepping down as senior royals.

It comes amid an ongoing rift between the once-close siblings following a number of scathing attacks by the Sussexes on The Firm.

Wills, allegedly first became worried about the Sussexes' unhappiness after they gave a bombshell interview to ITV on their tour of South Africa in 2019.
