William and Kate are in town to host the second annual Earthshot Prize Awards, which aim to find a solution to climate change. The ceremony is Friday, and the royal couple landed at Boston Logan International Airport on Wednesday afternoon.
They were officially welcomed by Healey and Wu during a ceremony at City Hall Plaza, not far from TD Garden.
With those meet-and-greets out of the way, William and Kate can sit back and enjoy a Celtics team that boasts the NBA's best offense and has scored at least 120 points in four straight games, all wins.
It appears the royals were ready for the matchup, too: Their official Twitter account posted a photo near the Garden floor about 20 minutes before tip-off.
