UK’s Prince William to be joined by wife Kate for visit to India

Britain’s Princess of Wales, Kate, is set to join her husband Prince William in India for his annual Earthshot Prize awards this week, marking her most high-profile overseas visit since receiving preventative chemotherapy for cancer in 2024. The 44-year-old couple will participate in a series of events across Mumbai during their three-day visit, including Tuesday’s awards ceremony.

Prince William, who founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020 to address climate change, will award five winners £1 million each to scale their environmental projects. A Kensington Palace spokesperson stated the prize aims to replace pessimism with possibility by showcasing ingenuity in solving environmental challenges.

While Kate is in remission, she has significantly reduced her official workload and noted that her recovery remains non-linear, with both good and bad days ahead.
