There are also unconfirmed reports of The Prince and Princess of Wales meeting President Biden and First Lady Dr Biden in Boston on Friday. I will update you on this once we have more information.
NEW: White House Press Sec:
President Biden will greet the Prince and Princess in Boston on Friday.
No details yet. #RoyalVisit #EarthshotBoston2022 #wbz— Paula Ebben (@PaulaEbben) November 30, 2022
Update: It has been confirmed by the White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, that The Royal couple will meet President Joe Biden on Friday. No further details have been announced yet. The President will be in Boston for a political fundraiser on Friday.
Moving towards The Princess of Wales’s first style of the trip – Catherine was looking elegant and stunning in a power suit. The Princess chose to champion British Labels on her first day overseas. She was wearing an Alexander McQueen suit.
Now it’s very much debatable whether the suit is a new element of her wardrobe or whether it’s the same suit that she wore during the audience with Royal Navy Sailors of HMS Glasgow at Windsor Castle earlier this year.
Another suggestion came from Tracking Royal and Middleton Maven that it could be the same model in an Amethyst shade. Due to the lightening and effects, the outfit shade keeps illuding us – navy, purple, indigo. We are not sure yet.
Update: The Princess of Wales was wearing Ralph Lauren Collection Cashmere Turtleneck. Thanks to Middleton Maven for the id.
She was wearing her Gianvito Rossi 105 Suede pumps.
The dazzling element of the outfit was Lady Diana’s Sapphire and Diamond Earrings that Catherine first wore at the Trooping the Colour this year. More details about the earrings are here.
