Prince William set to host star-studded Earthshot Awards in Cape Town as Kate remains sidelined for health reasons.
Prince William is gearing up for the upcoming Earthshot Prize Awards in Cape Town, where he will join forces with a host of celebrities, including supermodel Heidi Klum and actress Nina Dobrev. The November event marks the first time the prestigious awards ceremony will be held on the African continent, with the aim of spotlighting innovative environmental solutions.
However, Princess Kate will not accompany the Prince of Wales due to health concerns, as she continues her gradual return to public engagements under medical guidance. While Kate will be absent, she and William have shared their excitement by posting photos of the celebrity guests on Instagram to build anticipation for the initiative.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Klum said, “As someone who uses my platform to advocate for a better future for our children, I am deeply inspired by The Earthshot Prize’s ambition to find and support solutions for a healthy planet. I am thrilled to be part of this incredible evening."
Dobrev added her voice to the excitement, highlighting her passion for marine conservation: "As someone who cares deeply about the health of our oceans, I have been so inspired to see the Earthshot Prize focus on identifying solutions across Africa and around the world that will help ensure these vital ecosystems are protected for generations to come."
The ceremony's guest list includes a blend of international and African celebrities, showcasing the global reach of the Earthshot Prize. Launched by Prince William in 2020, the initiative awards £1 million annually to five winners for a decade, supporting ground-breaking environmental projects.
Although Kate’s absence will be felt, the event reflects the couple's shared dedication to sustainability, even as they navigate health challenges and evolving responsibilities.
