Will And Kate Meet American VIPs

William, the Duke of Cambridge, had quite a day on the first leg of his visit to the States. First he met President Obama in the White House’s Oval Office, just before Obama left to give a speech at a World Bank conference against corruption. Prince William then flew to New York, where his wife Kate, pregnant with their second child, was waiting for him.

The UK power couple then attended an event held by the British Council, during which they talked with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Sources say that Kate and Mrs. Clinton had a nice chat about motherhood.

The couple finished their first day in the US in quite a manner – they had courtside tickets for the Cavaliers – Nets game, their first NBA game ever. Seated opposite of them was another power couple – Jay-Z and Beyonce. The couples officially met, and the Brits also had the opportunity to meet USA’s own King James – LeBron James, that is. The basketball legend gave Kate and Will a box of cupcakes from Akron and a couple of basketball jerseys.
