It remains to be seen whether it will reduce the smattering of boos received by the royal couple on their visit to TD Garden last Wednesday night as they witnessed the Boston Celtics defeat the Miami Heat, but the Prince of Wales let it slip that he (and perhaps the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton) is/are fans of the Celtics.
Speaking a clip to a fan in a video circulated by the People Magazine Instagram account, Charles revealed his fandom for Boston’s NBA team, noting “if the Celtics hadn’t won last night, we’d probably never be able to show our faces — I’m quite relieved they won; it’s a good job.”
It seems the House of Windsor is finally over that whole Boston Tea Party kerfuffle all those years ago thanks to the wizardry of the soon-to-be-coronated king of the NBA Jayson Tatum.
After the 49-point, 11-rebound masterpiece William and Kate witnessed, it’s understandable why one would follow the Celtics, after all. From one (future) dynasty to another, we suppose.
