British royals, US Visit

British Royals, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge or as many call them Prince William and Duchess Kate, have arrived in New York for their US visit. The royal couple arrived in the USA on Sunday, and they have a busy schedule ahead of them while they are in the USA. The timing could be better because New York City is in the middle of protests and demonstrations about recent cases of civilian deaths and charges of police brutality, and this is the first visit to the area for the British royals. The protests have caused concerns for the security of the Duke and Duchess, and have caused areas of the city and certain intersections to be closed to traffic. Prince William will travel to Washington to meet with President Obama during the visit while Duchess Kate will stay in New York. While in Washington the Duke of Cambridge will also take part in a conference on illegal ivory trafficking.

While the British Royals are on their US visit Duchess Kate will visit the Harlem Northside Center for Child Development with the first lady of New York City Chirlane McCray. The center provides educational and mental health services for residents in live in high risk areas. Also on the schedule for the British royals is a sporting event, the game at the Barclay’s Center between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Hopefully the visit will be a big success and the British royals will go home with a positive view of America and many stories to tell people in England.
