William and Kate appear courtside at Boston Celtics game amid palace racism row

The Prince and Princess of Wales appeared courtside at a Boston Celtics game on Wednesday night, as a Buckingham Palace race row brewed at home.

Prince William and Princess Kate received a mostly warm welcome at the sporting arena, but there were reports of boos and chants of “USA” from the crowd at some moments.
