Prince William Hosts 2025 Earthshot Prize in Brazil Spotlighting Global Climate Solutions

Prince William has embarked on his first official visit to Latin America, attending the 2025 Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Brazil to spotlight environmental innovation amid recent royal family scandals involving his uncle, Prince Andrew. The Earthshot Prize, launched five years ago with David Attenborough, is a £50 million initiative aimed at finding solutions to the world's most pressing climate issues, with this year's ceremony highlighting Brazil's vital ecosystems and environmental defenders. William expressed deep concern for the future his children will inherit, emphasizing that urgent and bold action is essential to ensure they grow up surrounded by nature and hope. The ceremony, held in Rio and featuring celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, also aims to shift public attention from royal controversies to positive climate action. The Prince has fully supported King Charles's decision to strip Andrew of his royal title amid ongoing legal and public scrutiny. William and Princess Kate continue to focus on their environmental vision, sidestepping family drama to promote a better future through the Earthshot Prize.
