The second annual Earth Shot prize ceremony, which honours environmental innovation, will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Prince of Wales is all set to travel to Boston to attend it.

However, a royal expert predicts that the Prince of Wales will not be able to meet Prince Harry or Meghan Markle during his trip to the United States for the event.

Concerning the Sussexes, Prince William has no desire to engage in a 'fabricated turf war', says royal expert.


Victoria Arbiter, a royal commentator, claims that there has been conjecture from a few experts that the Prince of Wales' tour will be a chance to restore the faltering Cambridge brand in the US in her article for Nine Honey.

According to Arbiter, some people think that the Prince of Wales is exploiting the visit to boost his popularity by beginning a lengthy tour of the nation because of the 'perceived abuse' of the Sussexes by the royal family.
