The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a teaser trailer for their Netflix docuseries during Kate, the Princess of Wales and Prince William’s US trip making is “hard to ignore”. Royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti said it is “constant noise” for the Royal Family. He told Us Weekly: “I don’t think we can necessarily expect better from them but from Harry himself, I think this really is a punch to the Royal Family once again from the couple.

“I think it’s pretty hard not to pay attention to this.

“You can’t ignore it, it’s a constant noise for them and it’s something that they’d like to go away but that’s not going to happen.

“I think that the actual trailer itself can put to bed any doubt anyone might have had about their claims to want less attention and less publicity.

“In the opening seconds along, they’ve shared dozens of black and white photos private photos of themselves in love.

“I think it just makes a mockery of the idea that they wanted less attention.”

It comes as the prince will meet US President Joe Biden on the final day of his trip to Boston.

William will be greeted by Mr Biden during a visit to the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum on Friday, ahead of the Earthshot Prize ceremony in the evening.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’s three-day trip to the US has been overshadowed by the growing race row engulfing the future King’s godmother, which has left the monarchy accused of being institutionally racist.

Lady Susan Hussey has resigned from her role in the royal household and apologised after she repeatedly questioned Ngozi Fulani, a prominent black British-born domestic abuse charity boss, about where she “really came from” during a Buckingham Palace reception.

On Thursday, the prince remained focused on his Earthshot prize as he met budding environmental tech entrepreneurs at Greentown Labs near Boston and issued a warning, saying: “For all of us the time is ticking.”

As he chatted to some of last year’s award finalists William praised them for their ground-breaking work, adding: “As time goes by I keep saying: ‘Come on we’ve got to move faster and faster.”‘

The prince’s estranged brother, the Duke of Sussex, and his wife are not expected to attend the environmental awards on Friday but on the second day of the Waleses’ first overseas trip since the death of the Queen, the trailer for Harry and Meghan’s Netflix docu-series was released.

The one-minute film featured never-before-seen private photographs of the couple, who live in California, and in one section of the footage, Meghan appears to be wiping away tears while Harry sits and tilts his head right back, seemingly in distress.

A Kensington Palace spokesman reiterated comments made ahead of the trip that the Waleses would not be “distracted” by other things this week and their focus was on meeting communities and local people across Boston.

The couple looked relaxed and were greeted by cheers from the crowds as they arrived at Greentown Labs, a tech hub which has been nurturing a community of climate pioneers for more than a decade.

In a contrast to the drama in the UK, there was a lighter moment during the visit when the couple met eight-year-old Henry Dynov-Teixeira who was dressed as a guardsman in a replica scarlet tunic and bearskin.
