December 03, 2022

Prince William greeted US President Joe Biden at Boston's waterfront the final day of a visit by British royals trying tofocus attention on tackling environmental issues. William and his wife, Kate, attempted to keep the spotlight on climate and other causes they champion on their first overseas trip since taking on the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales after the death of Queen Elizabeth in
September.

In the middle of their US visit, however, Netflix Inc released a trailer for an upcoming documentary series about William's younger brother, Harry, and his American wife, Meghan, reviving talk about rifts in the royal family. Buckingham Palace also was dealing with a new racism controversy. On Friday afternoon, William smiled as he met Biden outdoors in cold weatheralong Boston's waterfront. The two men took a brief stroll before a private meeting at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.

The pair were expected to discuss "shared climate goals" and "prioritisation of mental health issues," White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters before the meeting. Later on Friday, William and Kate honored winners of the Earthshot Prize, an
award William established to recognise people working on solutions to problems caused by climate change. Kate and William last visited the United States in 2014, when they were guests of then-President Barack Obama at the White House. Their current trip
came just days before Harry and Meghan looked set to steal the limelight at an awards ceremony in New York.
