Princess of Wales arrives at children's center at Harvard University trends now
The Princess of Wales waved at fans as she arrived at a children's center at Harvard University on Friday morning.
Royal superfans have travelled from as far as Florida and Kentucky to catch a glimpse of Kate Middleton as she visited the center in Massachusetts.
But Kate kept the crowd interaction to a minimum as she arrived at Harvard University- triggering dry laughter and even groans among the crowd who'd hoped she might greet them.
She is travelling without William for this part of the Boston trip. The Prince is due at the JFK Presidential Library this afternoon for a solo tour, where he'll learn about JFK's Moonshot project, which inspired the Earthshot prize.
The princess pulled up in an eco-friendly Range Rover and waved only briefly before disappearing into the building.
Hundreds of people were gathered at security gates hoping for a close-up view of the Princess of Wales - or even a meet and greet. Many laughed as she quickly went inside the building, and some even groaned because of the short-lived glimpse.
Victoria George, 32, from Boston, wanted to see Kate with her daughters, two-year-old Madeleine and three-month-old Savannah - so she could tell them they'd been in the presence of a future queen.
She said: 'I'm a huge royal fan, I went to Boston City Hall on Wednesday and I wanted my daughters to get a chance to meet her.'
Victoria, who studied British History and wrote a thesis about royal weddings through history, added: 'When my daughters find out that the future Queen of England was in town, I want them to have been there.'
