muriel-This article had a schedule of events for the days in the U.S., but it's not specifically detailed for times and places.
Quote:
The visit will begin on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 30, at Boston’s City Hall where they will be welcomed to the city by Mayor Michelle Wu and Ambassador Caroline Kennedy. To mark the start of Earthshot, they will light up the City Hall and Boston’s other landmarks green. The following day, they will learn about climate innovations at Greentown Labs in Somerville before traveling to Chelsea to meet with a non-profit helping at risk young people aged 16-24.
On Friday, December 2, Kate will see the work of the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University while William will visit the JKF Library and Museum. The trip will culminate with the Earthshot Prize on Friday evening at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway.

Here's a possible engagement that both parties seem to be trying to arrange very quickly. POTUS Joe Biden will be in Boston at the same time that the Prince and Princess of Wales are there.
Quote:
The Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to meet President Joe Biden in Boston on Friday, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal, as the White House and British officials work to finalize details.
Neither side will comment publicly.
But sources familiar with arrangements said the heir to the British throne and Biden are trying to make use of a scheduling quirk that puts them both in Boston on the same day.

Love the JFK Library. Hope William enjoys the tour.
That would be pretty cool if they can arrange for the Wales and Biden to meet up.

It’s wonderful. I went years ago. My favorite of the presidential libraries I’ve been to.
I sat and listened to his entire inauguration speech. The whole thing really was fantastic.
Lots of media- him talking to press (lots of humor), Nixon debates, etc.
Pretty sure I remember a section on Caroline’s dolls too.
It was quite well done.

William's speech at the City Hall
So apparently they're flying commercial. IIRC, one of the argument in defending why Charles always used private jet as PoW was because he's the heir and since 9/11, the protocol was that both the monarch and heir are no longer allowed to fly commercial for security reason, but now William is the heir and he's allowed to fly commercial flight?

I thinbk these policies are continually reassessed, and changed from time to time.

Here's footage from the local CBS station as the Wales met the crowd that had gathered outside Roca to get a chance to see them.

The little boy dressed as a guardsman is so super cute.
This seems to be a good trip.

And keep in mind the reason the Wales couple went to Boston. The Earthshot Prize. By taking commercial, they avoid an own goal.

I've read that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis mandated that New England clam chowder must always be available in the cafeteria of the JFK Library.
It was the late president's favorite.

I read on another site today that William and Catherine were booed by some of the crowd at the baseball game.

That is really a much ado about nothing - everyone unless they are Boston die hards will be booed at the game. The press just made more of it then it is.
If you look online you will see many celebrities playing the booing up.
