"In 2022, we're back and bringing Earthshot to the USA where we'll award the next five winners of the Prize," he said in the clip.

The Prince and Princess of Wales will touch down in Boston Wednesday. It will be their first visit to America in eight years, People reported.

Their itinerary will begin with a welcome at Boston City Hall, where they will meet Mayor Michelle Wu and Ambassador Caroline Kennedy will help start the countdown to the star-studded event at the MGM Music Hall Friday evening.

Although Prince William and Middleton will be in the United States this week, they reportedly have no plans to meet Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have been living in Los Angeles, California, after they stepped down from their royal duties in 2020.
