Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales, greeted royal fans that stood to see the royal couple despite the low temperatures in Boston, MA, where they are on a trip this week. The future King and Queen have met budding environmental tech entrepreneurs in Boston - and a little boy dressed as a familiar Guardsman.

William and Kate's three-day trip to the US to stage the Earthshot Prize has been overshadowed by the growing race row engulfing the future King's godmother, which has left the monarchy accused of being institutionally racist.

Lady Susan Hussey has resigned from her role in the royal household and apologised after she repeatedly questioned Ngozi Fulani, a prominent black British-born domestic abuse charity boss, about where she "really came from" during a Buckingham Palace reception.

The prince's estranged brother, the Duke of Sussex, and his wife are not expected to attend the environmental awards on Friday but on the second day of the Waleses' first overseas trip since the death of the Queen, the trailer for Harry and Meghan's Netflix docu-series was released.

The one-minute film featured never-before-seen private photographs of the couple, who live in California, and in one section of the footage, Meghan appears to be wiping away tears while Harry sits and tilts his head right back, seemingly in distress.

A Kensington Palace spokesman has reiterated comments made ahead of the trip that they would not be "distracted" by other things this week and their focus today was on meeting communities and local people across Boston.

The couple looked relaxed and were greeted by cheers from the crowds as they arrived at Greentown Labs, a tech hub which has been nurturing a community of climate pioneers for more than a decade.

Greentown is believed to be the largest climate technology start-up incubator in North America, having supported more than 500 companies since being founded in 2011, which have created more than 9,000 jobs and raised more than 4 billion dollars in funding.
