Kate Middleton and Prince William's tour in the United States continues. On Monday night, December 8, the couple attended a Brooklyn Nets basketball game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Barclays Center.
Sitting in the front row, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked excited about the game. William, who sat next to retired NBA player Dikembe Mutombo, wore a casual plaid button-down shirt, while his pregnant wife kept herself warm in a tweed Tory Burch coat and skinny jeans.
Another powerhouse couple Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z were attending the game as well. Sitting court-side across from the royal couple, "Jay and Bey walked across the court to see them" in between the third and fourth quarter, an eyewitness tells Us Weekly.
After the game, William and Kate met LeBron James and received the Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys. The British Consulate NY shared a picture of the meeting on their official Twitter, captioning it, "TRH meet @KingJames after the game at the @BarclaysCenter and receive jerseys, including one for Prince George!"

The second in line for the throne also visited the White House to have a chat with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office in addition to attending an International Corruption Hunters Alliance event at the World Bank in Washington.
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge joined first lady of New York City, Chirlane McCray, and other volunteers to help wrap Christmas presents for children at the Northside Center for Childhood Development. "She got down on her knees and worked with the kids," said Dr. Thelma Dye, who heads the Northside Center for Child Development. "She had glue all over her fingers."
William and Kate are scheduled to visit the 9/11 Memorial Museum on Tuesday. They will also attend the black-tie, scholarship fundraiser for the University of St. Andrews.
