Caroline Kennedy and John Kerry both FAIL to show up to William and Kate's ... trends now
Neither Ambassador Caroline Kennedy nor Special Envoy John Kerry made it to Boston last night to welcome the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Kerry, the presidential envoy for climate who recently tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from COP27 in Egypt, informed the Prince and Princess that he would 'sadly no longer be able to attend,' but did not clarify why.

Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy who is currently serving as the US Ambassador to Australia, said she experienced 'disrupted travel plans' due to the harsh weather lashing the east coast.
