The prince and Princess of Wales will meet President Biden during their three-day trip to the US. The royal couple will be in Boston on Friday for the Earthshot Prize ceremony, after landing at the city’s Logan Airport on Wednesday afternoon.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams described the meeting as a “big boost to the great work the Prince and Princess of Wales are doing and a special show of support for the Earthshot Prize”.
Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, said: “We are still finalizing and working through the details.
“We have no further details on that.”
It is the first trip abroad for the prince and princess since the queen passed away in September at the age of 96.
In a statement on their arrival, the Prince said: “On this, our first overseas visit since my grandmother’s death, I would like to thank the people of Massachusetts and especially of Boston for their many tributes to the late Queen.
“She remembered her bicentennial visit in 1976 with great fondness. My grandmother was one of life’s optimists. And so was I.
