Not sure I agree with you on cancelling receptions. The Queen hosted plenty too. they’re an effective way of recognising a large number of people.
There is a new development on this story.
Funny how the press didn‘t mention that H & TW had a very poor reception at the Intrepid Museum American Military Veterans Event that they attended last year in NYC. And how the security for their endless photo ops with the Mayor and Governor, etc. tied up traffic. And yes New Yorkers always grumble when politicians visit our city and snarl traffic. I remember cursing when our then Prez and his wife flew in to dine at a restaurant for their date night. The traffic was just beastly that night as a result. At least W & K are in Boston to hand out meaningful awards to people doing work on the environment that could benefit all of us. Unlike H & TW and their visit to that school where she disrupted classes so she could read the Stench to some unlucky students. And the worst gridlock happens when the UN is in session every year in NYC. So a 3 day visit by visiting dignitaries is a minor inconvenience to the locals in Boston by comparison.
I read that both John Kerry and Caroline Kennedy recused themselves at the last minute. The implication was that the issue at the palace was the reason. It is truly sad that the program for climate issues was sacrificed because of the latest brouhaha. I am disappointed in both of them. If you believe in something you stand up in support.

If you believe the article, Caroline Kennedy missed the opening but still plans to attend the other events. John Kerry is still recovering from COVID but hopes to make the gala event.
Check again. Caroline was late due to transportation issues. She met W&K backstage at the Celtics game. She wore green
That’s ok. We can still be kind to each other.
