Yahoo Finance The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announce they plan to visit the US next year
The Duke of Cambridge announced that he and the Duchess will be visiting the US next year, which will be their first trip to the nation for seven years.
Prince William announced the news in an interview with People, noting that his environmental initiative, The Earthshot Prize, will host its second ceremony in the US in 2022. The Cambridges celebrated the global prize for the environment last Sunday in London.
‘This is just the start,’ he told the publication following the celebrations. ‘I'm thrilled that in 2022, The Earthshot Prize will be heading to the United States, where we will continue to spread this vital message of urgency, optimism and action.
‘The urgency of the situation can't be overstated. But through The Earthshot Prize, I want to show people across the world why there is reason to be hopeful.’
The couple last visited the United Stated in 2014, when they went to New York.
It’s unknown at this stage whether the couple will take their three children – Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte – on the trip yet and whether they will be visiting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to meet the new baby, Lilibet Diana.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to California last year after they officially stepped down as senior members of the royal family. The pair and their son Archie later settled in Montecito, before they welcomed their daughter Lilibet earlier this summer.
The last time Prince Harry visited the UK was in April this year following the death of his grandfather, Prince Philip.
