Well-wishers greet Prince and Princess of Wales in Boston
The Prince and Princess of Wales are making their first overseas trip since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September. Prince William and his wife, Kate visited a at-risk youth center to help show the world as much about who they are.. With their three-day visit to Boston, the couple hope to demonstrate that they aren't the last remnants of a dying institution. Their foray is focused on William's initiative to find the next generation of environmental entrepreneurs and will be supplemented with trips to an anti-poverty program, child development researchers and local flood defenses. The visit comes less than three months after the death of Queen Elizabeth, whose personal popularity dampened criticism of the crown during her 70-year reign. King Charles III, William's father, has made clear that his will be a slimmed-down monarchy, with less pomp and ceremony than its predecessors.
