The Princess of Wales will join Prince William in India for this year’s Earthshot Prize.
Kate will be taking part in the official presentation ceremony for the first time since 2022 when she was at William’s side for the prizes in Boston.
It’s the second overseas trip that the Princess has undertaken since her treatment for cancer in 2024.
The couple will head to India for a series of events marking Earthshot as well as the main prize ceremony which will see five projects win £1 million each to fund their ideas to help sustainability and protect the environment.
It’s the second official trip that William and Kate have made to India. They travelled there ten years ago for a tour which Kate said was a dream come true.
At the time, the couple said they hoped to bring their children back one day. However, this trip will be just them. Prince George, 13, is back at Eton while Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, continue their studies at Lambrook School.
The trip will see them based in Mumbai where they will take part in a series of events marking Earthshot.
Prince William is due to take part in the Earthshot Prize Impact Assembly and meet the 2026 Earthshot Prize Finalists while both he and Kate will be at the glittering award ceremony to walk the green carpet together.
Throughout their time in Mumbai, William and Kate hope to spend time with different communities and see the innovation and creativity helping to shape the future of India.
While there, the Prince and Princess of Wales will also attend the first ever Children’s Earthshot Awards Ceremony. This new scheme is open to young people between the ages of nine and seventeen across India and they’ve been asked to come up with solutions for the environomental issues in their own communities.
As it’s William and Kate, there will be some sporting competition and, just as they did no their first official visit to India, they are expected to take part in a cricket match.
The Earthshot Prize takes place on November 17th.
