Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 01:13 · Archive

The Princess of Wales will join Prince William in India for his Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Mumbai, her biggest foreign trip since cancer treatment in 2024.

The Princess of Wales will undertake her biggest foreign trip since having cancer treatment when she joins Prince William in India for his annual Earthshot Prize awards. Kensington Palace confirmed the couple will participate in royal events across Mumbai during a three-day visit that includes Tuesday's awards ceremony.

William founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020 to find solutions to climate change. The award gives five winners £1 million each to scale up their projects. A spokesperson for the couple said the prize aims at 'replacing pessimism with possibility' and demonstrating that environmental solutions are being applied with 'ingenuity, determination and creativity'.

The awards ceremony, organisers say, will be the biggest so far. The royals will be joined by celebrities including Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, actors Alia Bhatt and Rami Malek, and British pop group Take That, who will perform in India for the first time. Away from Earthshot, the couple will also attend events linked to Indian cricket, fashion and cinema.

Kate significantly reduced her official workload following her illness, though her public appearances have gradually increased. She has not joined William on any previous foreign trips since her treatment.
