December 01, 2022 - 13:53 GMT Gemma Strong Prince William and Princess Kate were met with cheers and applause as they made a surprise appearance at the basketball on Wednesday.On the first day of their visit to Boston, the couple surprised onlookers as they took their seats courtside to watch Boston Celtics take on Miami Heat.
We spoke to HELLO!'s Royal Correspondent Emily Nash, who was there on the night, to find out more about some of the Bostonians' reaction to William and Kate at the game."[At the basketball], there was a sort of mixed reaction to them," Emily reveals."But I think it was largely because Boston is a city that's proud of its heritage of Irish immigrants. So, you know, naturally not everyone's going to be really excited about seeing members of the British royal family.
She continues:"But on the whole, I'd say it was a very warm reception. And I think a lot of people hadn't realised initially who was there. And as we were leaving, people were sort of saying, 'Oh, look, you know, the royals were here' and they were quite surprised. So you have to remember this is a massive event for the city anyway."Nevertheless, William and Kate were clearly in high spirits at the event."William and Kate, as we know, love sports.
