The couple will split on Monday, with William traveling to Washington DC while Kate remains in NYC. Accompanied by William Hague, he will attend the International Corruption Hunters Alliance conference at the World Bank in Washington to discuss transportation across borders of illegal wildlife parts. As the duke is the president of the United For Wildlife consortium, which focuses heavily on illegal wildlife practices, this will be an important meeting for him. He will also attend a lunch with representatives from various programs that are fighting the illegal trade of ivory. William will travel back to the Big Apple after his lunch to attend a reception for The Royal Foundation in recognition of the Wildlife Conservation Society, Conservation International, and The Nature Conservancy, all of which are partners with Tusk Trust and United For Wildlife.
Meanwhile, Kate will meet up with the first lady of New York City, Chirlane McCray, to visit Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem, a local child development center. She will then attend a lunch at the British Consul General's residence to celebrate the achievements of the British community in NYC. Later, William will meet with Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton at the British Consul General's residence to attend a conservation reception.
The duke and duchess will reunite later in the evening to attend the Brooklyn Nets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game in Brooklyn. The couple's representative says that the pair hopes to foster a relationship between The Royal Foundation, United For Wildlife, and the NBA.
