It was also confirmed that Prince William will travel to Brazil next month to attend COP30 on behalf of the King. The Prince is already scheduled to visit Rio de Janeiro for the fifth edition of his Earthshot Prize Awards on November 5.
The 30th United Nations Climate Conference will run from November 10 to 21, and has previously been attended by King Charles, a lifelong environmental advocate.
Both the King and the Prince share a long-standing commitment to protecting the planet. In 1970, a then 21-year-old Prince Charles gave a speech warning about the dangers of plastic pollution — decades before it became a global concern.
Prince William has often spoken about how his father inspired his passion for environmentalism, recalling how Charles would take him and Prince Harry litter-picking as children to instil respect for nature.
Continuing that legacy, the Prince launched The Earthshot Prize in 2020, an annual global award recognising five innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
