When Prince William and Duchess Kate land in the United States this weekend, they will take the Big Apple by storm.
The royal couple, both 32, will visit New York City alone, without their 1-year-old son Prince George. Prince William will also make a solo one-day trip to Washington, D.C.
“I think the focus will be very much on Kate; what she’s wearing, her growing baby bump and this next royal baby,” ABC News’ royal contributor Victoria Murphy said of Kate, who is now pregnant with the couple’s second child.
