Kate Middleton and Prince William NYC and DC itinerary

The royal couple, along with Kate's baby bump, has arrived in New York. This marks their first official visit in New York City. Their last visit to the U.S. was back in 2011 and they headed to California then. And because it's the royals' first NYC hurrah, their itinerary is very packed. 

Those who want to catch a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the royal baby bump can give the royal schedule a look. This is outlined by the Prince of Wales website

Monday, Dec. 8 

Monday, the royal couple will briefly separate. Prince William will head to Washington D.C. to meet with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. He will meet them separately. 

Prince William is also set to attend the International Corruption Hunters Alliance Conference to be held at The World Bank. This alliance was formed for the prevention of illegal poaching and wildlife trading. He will take his lunch there. 

After the conference, the prince will head back to New York to meet with Hillary and Chelsea Clinton for the Clinton Foundation Conservation reception. The reception is co-hosted by the Royal Foundation and the Clinton Foundation. 

Meanwhile, while His Royal Highness is in D.C., the duchess will stay in New York to accomplish her own schedule of events. She will be headed to the Northside Center for Child Development in Harlem where Chirlane McCray, First Lady of New York, will accompany her. 

By lunch time, Kate will attend lunch at the British Consul General's residence to meet various sectors of the British community in New York. 

When night comes, the royal couple will be together once again to have some fun. They will watch the Brooklyn Nets play against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Barclays Center. The game attendance is for the support of the collaboration of the NBA, The Royal Foundation and United for Wildlife. 

Tuesday, Dec. 9 

For their last day in NYC, the duke and duchess will go to the National September 11 Memorial Museum and will also visit the City Kids Foundation and The Door in NYC. These two are youth organizations focused on using art as a form of education. 

After these, the royal couple will go to NeueHouse to celebrate the creative talents of the British. There, a reception will be hosted. 

Prince William will then go to the Empire State Building for the "Innovation is GREAT Reception" with Mayor Bill de Blasio. This reception is to celebrate British and American entrepreneurs. 

The day will end with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attending the University of St. Andrews 600th Anniversay dinner to be held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

That rounds up the royal couple's activities in New York City.
