BOSTON — The royals spent a busy trundling around the Boston area on Thursday, greeting well-dressed children and spending a remarkable amount of time looking at East Boston seawalls in the freezing cold ahead of the “green carpet” Earthshot award ceremony Friday.
This was day two of three of the swing Prince William and Princess Kate of Wales are taking through the Hub. The Brits brought pouring rain and whipping winds for their Wednesday introduction at City Hall before Thursday morning departing from the Four Seasons hotel on the Common to hit up organizations in a couple of British-named cities — Chelsea and Somerville.
In Somerville, in keeping with the environmental themes of their voyage, they hit up Greentown Labs, where various sustainable initiatives are under way. The royals had the chance to see, among other things, some soap made out of fungus, per the pool report, before stopping to chat with 8-year-old Henry Dynov-Teixeira, who was wearing a Kings Guard costume and carrying flowers for Kate.
