Prince William and Kate will be here for three days beginning Sunday. They have not been to the U.S. since 2011.

The couple's child, Prince George, will not be part of the trip.

Also on Prince William and Kate's agenda is a visit to an inner city youth club on behalf of the Royal Foundation and a basketball game.
