The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in New York for a tour of the east coast of the United States.
The couple are in the country for three days, during which Prince William will meet President Barack Obama.
Catherine, who is pregnant with the couple's second child, will accompany the duke to pay respects to those who died in the 9/11 terror attacks.
Danny Lopez, the British consul general in New York, said there had been "incredible interest" in the visit.
He added there has been a huge "level of excitement" from people in the city.

It is usually the host nation that provides the itinerary, so who knows? :)

Since they’re in New York, I hope Kate doesn’t get cravings for a Big Gulp.

Remember when Michelle slapped the Queen on her back and when Obama screwed up the toast to the Queen. No wonder they were not invited to the wedding. LOL

Thinking yourself royalty doesn’t make it true. They are irksome.

I read an interesting take on Obama screwing up the toast to the Queen...seems the Quenn purposely made him look ignorant on protocol on purpose to knock him down a notch...

I love that Lady.....the dumba$$ look on his face when she did that was priceless.
To: Popman
The Queen purposely made him look ignorant? LOL I hope she did.
However, this is an ignorant guy who does not know how to hold his wine glass, can’t pronounce corpse-man, calls an obstetrician an obie-gynie, and can’t spell Syracuse.
I don’t think the Queen would have to try.

Oh, whoopee!
A born to privilege royal person is visiting the United States.
Let's all swoon and curtsey and whatever else one is supposed to do in the presence of someone that is where they are through an accident of birth.
I detest royalty and I absolutely detest those that think we, as a sovereign nation, should give a rat's ass about their royalty.
Hear what I'm saying, Saudi?

A beautiful couple. Hope they have a wonderful, safe visit.
Hope that moron DiBlasio can keep his flying monkeys under control.

Interesting,
Your whole post sums up the question i have often pondered myself:
“Why does anyone give a rats arse about other peoples heads of State?”
The only thing i could ever put it down to was Politics and interest in other peoples cultures.

Lovely couple...thank you.
And, I might add, representatives of an ancient tradition of Western civilization.
