Royal couple’s NYC visit to include Brooklyn Nets game
While Britain’s Prince William meets with President Barack Obama at the Oval Office on Monday and discusses illegal wildlife trafficking at the World Bank, his wife, Kate, will tour a child development center with New York City’s first lady, Chirlane McCray.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in New York City on Sunday, the royal couple’s first official visit to the U.S. since a 2011 trip to California and their first taste of the Big Apple. During their three-day trip, they’ll be staying at the Carlyle Hotel, a favorite of William’s mother, the late Princess Diana, when she frequently visited Manhattan in the 1990s.
William and Kate, who are expecting their second child in April, have scheduled a full slate of events in New York, including a visit to the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum and a basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
