Boston Visit: The Prince and Princess of Wales on Day 2 of Official Engagements

The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Greentown Labs and Boston Harbor

The Prince and Princess of Wales attended a series of engagements in the city of Boston ahead of the Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony, which will be held tonight, December 2, at the MGM Music Hall.

On Day 2 of their official visit to Massachusetts, Prince William and Catherine visited the Greentown Labs, a climate tech startup incubator in Boston that engages in the regional climate tech innovation ecosystem.

Greentown Labs technology is one of the largest start-up incubators in North America. They have been supporting and funding communities and activities of climate pioneers who are working to design and implement a more sustainable world.

Apart from the Greentown Labs CEO, they also met the President of the Northeast Clean Energy Council and other start-up entrepreneurs to hear about the innovations in climate technology.

They also visited Roca Incorporated, a nonprofit organization in Chelsea, Massachusetts, which focuses on mental health, an advocacy that's closest to the Prince and Princess of Wales' hearts as it's also the focus of their royal roles.

During the visit, the Prince and Princess of Wales met children, mothers, and staff, and learned how Roca uses CBT and brain science to disrupt the cycle of violence.

The couple raved about their visit to the Boston Harbor accompanying photos on their social media account, "The past, present, and future of Boston Harbor and its climate resiliency on full display at the beautiful Piers Park this afternoon".

Royal Fashion

Some royal fans are criticizing Catherine for her non-sustainable wardrobe (only Prince William wore repeat clothing), and for wearing all-new pieces of clothing, which did not match the advocacy (sustainability) of the activities they were attending in Boston.

Other fans are defending her outfit choices, saying some of the pieces are repeats and signify sustainability, for instance, the Chanel vintage double-breasted jacket she wore during the appearance at the Bolton Celtics game.

Here are what Catherine wore on day two of their engagement (all new ensembles according to the identification revealed by the Royal Fashion Police on instagram).

Prince William, the Prince of Wales, who has been known for frequently re-wearing his suits, packed a suitcase of, well, most repeat clothing. As a personality who advocates sustainability and "fixing our planet", it's good to hear that the Prince of Wales is not spending much in fast fashion.
