BOSTON — The visiting royals enjoyed something of a Boston tea party with Mayor Michelle Wu and Gov.-Elect Maura Healey in City Hall before a brief and soggy address about the climate to a crowd outside.
Prince William thanked “all the hearty Bostonians” who spent the Wednesday afternoon getting rained on as they waited for him to speak for a total of about 2 minutes and 20 seconds — and his wife Princess Kate to remain silent in the background.
William, who’s next in line for the British monarchy and the eldest son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, is in town to present his “Earthshot” prize for climate innovations — inspired by former President John F. Kennedy’s “Moonshot” initiative — on Friday.
