Prince William and Princess Kate have taken on more royal responsibilities since Queen Elizabeth’s passing, including trips abroad. Last year, they visited Boston, Massachusetts, for the Earthshot Prize, and soon, the Earthshot Awards will take place in Singapore. While many expected William to travel with Kate, it seems that she won’t accompany him on his trip to New York for the Earthshot Prize finalist’s celebration. Furthermore, Kate and their children won’t be traveling to Singapore for the Earthshot Awards.

Despite their numerous responsibilities, William and Kate always prioritize returning home to their children at night. However, there was an exception in December last year when they traveled to the US for an event related to the Earthshot Prize. During this trip, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were cared for by Kate’s parents and their longtime nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.

William and Kate’s visit to the US was highly anticipated, and they made headlines for flying on a commercial flight instead of a private jet. Passengers on the flight praised the royals for their down-to-earth demeanor.

During their visit to the US, William and Kate attended the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, visited clean-tech incubator Greentown Labs, and even attended a Boston Celtics NBA game. Body language experts noted that while the couple appeared affectionate, there were signs of inner tension during the trip.

As for William’s visit to New York this week, Kate won’t be accompanying him, and it’s reported that he has banned any mention of his younger brother, Prince Harry, during the trip. Harry was in the UK recently but did not have any family meetings.

While some royal fans expressed disappointment that Kate won’t be joining William in Singapore, others are still hopeful that she might make a surprise appearance. Regardless, William and Kate continue to fulfill their royal duties and navigate their evolving roles within the monarchy.
