BEATLE-MANIA 2.0! Kate and William will take US by storm on next trip, says royal expert
Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William will incite "mania" when they travel to the US in their first visit to the country in eight years. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spending more time in the US, which is now home to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, would generate a lot of interest and journalistic attention, according to royal critic Kinsey Schofield.
After the Queen's Platinum Jubilee festivities sparked "fresh interest" in the royal couple and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, Kinsey said that people would "sleep in the streets" for a "simple wave."

Author of the book 'R is for Revenge Dress' and founder of ToDiForDaily.com, Schofield told Express.co.uk, “The Queen's Platinum Jubilee really inspired a fresh interest in the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children." “America is very interested and excited about Prince William and Catherine." “I think it will be Beatle-Mania 2.0 when they visit again."
“Every major news station and entertainment news outlet will be sending teams. People will sleep in the streets for a simple wave. It is very exciting.”
It happens as William and Kate get ready to make their first trip to the US in eight years when they visit Boston in December for the Earthshot Prize. They previously visited New York City in 2014 and Los Angeles in 2011. This will be their third tour to America.
The pair could go on a full-blown US tour, according to rumors that followed the revelation. The journey, according to Prince William's biographer Omid Scobie, was part of a larger strategy to emulate his brother Harry and step up attempts to boost his reputation in the US.
The father of three, according to Scobie's sources, is "keen" for his work to have a "impact outside of the UK and the royal bubble," and efforts have been stepped up notably in America, where his brother lives with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children.
Writing for Yahoo, co-author of 'Finding Freedom', Scobie said, “A steady stream of orchestrated appearances from George, Charlotte and Louis – and William and Kate’s efforts during the pandemic has helped the Cambridges’ popularity rise."
“And it seems Kensington Palace is now hoping they can do the same in the US. It’s why William sat down with People magazine, still one of the country’s most read magazines, last summer for a rare interview."
