In an unexpected move, Prince William may announce his return to New York Metropolis.
The heir to the British throne, whose presence previously generated great anticipation, is heading to the Big Apple to participate in the Third Annual Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, to be held on September 24.
During last year’s event, King Charles’ eldest son made a solo trip to New York to attend the Earthshot Summit in September 2023, a visit that caused a great stir and left a mark with unforgettable moments.
The upcoming Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit follows the first edition of the Earthshot Innovation Camp, which took place during Climate Action Week in London at the end of June.
At that event, Prince William had the honor of meeting the founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies and the acclaimed Ted Lasso actress, Hannah Waddingham, who hosted the dazzling third annual Earthshot Awards in Singapore in November 2023.
Continuing the tradition, the summit will reveal the 15 finalists selected for the next Earthshot Prize. Additionally, it has already been confirmed that the award ceremony will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, in November.
Will Kate Middleton be with William in New York?
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is expected to accompany Prince William on his trip to New York.
This event coincides with the city’s Climate Week and the incoming session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Both royals made their first appearance together at the inaugural Earthshot Awards in London in 2021 and continued their commitment to the environment by attending the second event in Boston, USA.
However, due to her current chemotherapy treatment, it is unknown if Princess Kate will be able to participate in this significant event alongside her husband. It all depends on her well-being and medical recommendations.
