Prince William has hinted at an upcoming visit to South Africa in November, which would come just weeks after his brother Prince Harry completed his solo tour of the region.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’ official social media account, @KensingtonRoyal, posted a message saying: “There are just five weeks to go until we’re in Cape Town for the fourth annual @EarthshotPrize!”
The tweet, which was accompanied by a video of William discussing the Earthshot Prize alumni, featured an enthusiastic sign-off: “Can’t wait to be in South Africa this November #EarthshotCapeTown.”
Despite the excitement, the post stopped short of explicitly confirming whether William himself will attend in person.
However, as the driving force behind the Earthshot Prize, William has attended every award presentation since its inception.
This year’s event in Cape Town promises to continue the momentum, following successful ceremonies held in Singapore last year, Boston in 2022, and London’s Alexandra Palace in 2021.
The 2024 Earthshot Prize awards will be held during Earthshot Week, beginning on November 6.
The week aims to highlight the best environmental innovations, culminating in a ceremony that will see five winners each awarded £1 million to scale their impactful solutions.
The event will also feature Earthshot+, a day of discussions designed to maximise the impact of the prize winners and finalists.
While the Earthshot Prize has always been a collaborative effort, it appears that Princess Kate will not join her husband in South Africa this year.
The Princess of Wales is recovering following her recently completed cancer treatment and did not attend the awards in Singapore last year due to family commitments.
Nevertheless, she was present at the events in 2021 and 2022, showcasing her commitment to the cause

Prince William’s hint about traveling to South Africa comes as his brother, Prince Harry, has been actively involved in his own charitable initiatives in the region.
Prince Harry is visiting Lesotho for the first time since 2018, attending a series of engagements in support of Sentebale, the youth-focused charity he co-founded with Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso nearly two decades ago.
Harry’s visit was aimed at driving forward initiatives focused on digital and economic inclusion for young people, while also addressing broader social issues like health, wealth inequity, and climate change.
In Johannesburg, Harry and Prince Seeiso are set to meet with South Africa-based stakeholders, including a panel discussion focused on philanthropy that goes beyond financial donations.
This event will further spotlight the Duke of Sussex’s efforts to bring meaningful change through Sentebale, which was initially founded to help children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV/AIDS but has since expanded its mission.
King Charles and Queen Camilla have been pictured speaking with high-profile members of the Commonwealth Diaspora.
King Charles had guests in stitches as he showed off his dance moves at a glitzy reception at St James’s Palace with a star-studded guest list to celebrate the Commonwealth Diaspora.
The event comes ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa
Attended by 300 notable guests, celebrated the Commonwealth’s rich diversity and the enormous contributions of its diaspora communities to the United Kingdom and beyond.
Accompanied by The Duchess of Edinburgh and The Duke of Kent, they greeted prominent members of the Commonwealth Diaspora.
Including actress Cate Blanchett, iconic singer Grace Jones, acclaimed dancer Motshegetsi Mabuse-Voznyuk, Samoan rugby player Theodore McFarland, soprano Isabella Moore, and New Zealand musician Neil Finn

The event highlighted the cultural achievements of the Commonwealth Diaspora and the shared values and unity of the Commonwealth nations.
The King and Queen, alongside Members of the Royal Family, took the opportunity to meet with High Commissioners and representatives from various Commonwealth-associated organisations.
Supporters of The King’s Trust International and the British Asian Trust, both of which operate extensively within the Commonwealth, were present to further reinforce the important work these charities are doing under The King’s leadership.
These organisations, founded by His Majesty during his time as Prince of Wales, continue to play a crucial role in supporting young people and communities in the Commonwealth.

Queen Camilla also brought attention to her own initiatives, including The Wow Foundation, which focuses on promoting women and girls, and The Queen’s Reading Room, launched in 2021, which aims to nurture a love for reading and literacy across the Commonwealth.
The King, as Head of the Commonwealth since his accession in 2022, has continued to talk about the importance of this global family of nations, which spans one-third of the world’s population.
He highlighted the extraordinary potential of the Commonwealth’s youth, noting that 1.5 billion of the Commonwealth’s citizens are under the age of thirty.
The monarch has also consistently expressed his belief that this youth population is central to the future prosperity and innovation of the Commonwealth.
Meghan Markle is yet to fully launch her lifestyle brand American Rivieria Orchard but a PR expert has identified some concerning signs.

Meghan Markle is gearing up to officially launch her new lifestyle brand American Rivieria Orchard but a PR expert has identified some ‘major concerns’.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, first teased her new brand six months ago and aside from a few jam jars, not much has been seen since.
It is reported that Meghan is struggling to hire a CEO for the venture, following allegations from former employees, and a PR expert said this is a major red flag for future investors.
“I would have major concerns if I were an investor,” Matt Yanofsky, a PR and brand marketing expert, told The Times. “If I’m an investor, I’m saying to her, ‘you need to find a CEO with a direct business plan that’s going to show profitability, or at least a revenue plan, within the next 60 to 90 days. Otherwise, I’m taking my money out’.”
He added: “I’d be happy to eat my words and best of luck to her, but as of right now, [ARO] seems like it’s the wrong product with the wrong people.”
KING Charles has always “left the door open for Harry” amid their royal rift – but “Meghan is toxic”, says a royal expert.
The duke, 39, will be returning to the UK in days for the Invictus Games’ 10th anniversary – and will “undoubtedly” want to meet with his father.

Meghan’s presence at the Invictus Games service would overshadow it, claimed Mr FitzwilliamsCredit: AP
An Invictus Games spokesperson today confirmed Harry will arrive at the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday 8th May.
It marks a decade since the inaugural Invictus Games London in 2014, highlighting the value sport can have in people’s lives.
Meghan’s reception would overshadow the message of the service, and you wouldn’t want that
Richard FitzwilliamsRoyal commentator
This trip across the pond will be the dukes first time in Britain since Princess Kate announced she is receiving treatment for cancer on March 22.
However, wife Meghan’s attendance has not been confirmed yet, alongside their children Archie and Lilibet.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun Online: “I never thought that Meghan would come over because of the hostility towards her here, but one has to emphasize that it’s obvious from the opinion polls.
“And of course, you’d get a press that was far from flattering, but that is linked to the Sussexes behaviour over the last four years.
Meghan is toxic
Mr Fitzwilliams
“It may not be definite that she isn’t coming, but it’s most unlikely.
“Meghan’s reception would overshadow the message of the service, and you wouldn’t want that.”
Meg, 42, has joined Harry at his games in Toronto, Sydney, The Hague and Dusseldorf – and the one-year-out launch party for Vancouver.
However, she has not been seen in the UK since attending Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
And, she turned down an invite to the King’s Coronation as it clashed with Archie’s fourth birthday.
FATHER SON REUNION
Speaking of the possibility the duke and King Charles could come face to face, the royal expert said: “So far as Harry is concerned, yes, undoubtedly I would have thought he would want to see his father.”
The royal expert touched on Harry’s 24hour transatlantic dash when news broke of the King’s cancer diagnosis.
Meanwhile, Charles was spotted for the first time today since Harry announced his return to the UK – and since His Majesty revealed he would be going back to public duties.
The King has always kept the door open to Harry, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he would invariably get a warm reception
Mr Fitzwilliams
Mr Fitzwilliams added that despite Harry’s desperate bid for more security – it would not be an issue should he wish to see his father.
“We know security regarding Harry and Meghan and the children would be dealt with on a case by case basis, I would find it extraordinary if they wanted to see the King that there would be a problem.”
The expert even questioned whether Harry could “well come back over again on several occasions”.
“The King has always kept the door open to Harry, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he would invariably get a warm reception,” continued Mr Fitzwilliams.
“It will take its time. But clearly the situation has changed in recent weeks beyond all expectations.
“I don’t think it would be too difficult, it depends how you define reconcile.
“I think there’s a long way to go before Harry is bringing over Meghan and the children.”
King spotted for first time today since work announcement
KING Charles and Queen Camilla have been seen for first time since their announcement the monarch would return to public duties.
The Royal couple smiled side by side as they arrived to attend Sunday Service at Crathie Church in Aberdeen this morning.
It is the first time the pair have been spotted since Buckingham Palace revealed the King would be returning to public-facing duties.
His Majesty, 75, has chosen to make his public comeback by visiting a cancer hospital to speak to staff and patients with Camilla, 76, on Tuesday.
It is understood the King, as patron of MacMillan Cancer Support, wants the visit to raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and highlight innovative research supported by Cancer Research UK, which is taking place at the hospital.
The palace has also confirmed he will host a State Visit from the Emperor and Empress of Japan this summer.
Palace officials announced Charles is still undergoing cancer treatment but his medical team are “very encouraged by the progress” and “remain positive” about his recovery.
The King could be seen at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party – also thrown on May 8 – this year amid his return to duties.
But, the Invictus Games service runs from 5pm until 6.30pm which clashes with the glitzy outdoor bash – held between 3pm and 6pm – meaning it is unlikely Harry and the King would come face-to-face at either event.
‘DEEP RIFT’
However, a reconciliation between Harry and the Prince and Princess of Wales may be a different story.
The royal expert said: “We don’t know, but Catherine is receiving preventative treatment for cancer and there’s no doubt it’s a very very difficult time for her, and it’s most unlikely that she would want visitors who might be in some form controversial, whatever the intention.
“William has a very deep rift with him and I don’t see it instantly being resolved.
“The Sussexes aren’t trusted by the Royal Family.”
‘TOXIC’ MEG
Mr Fitzwilliams added: “Meghan is toxic.
“I’m not saying the Sussexes would launch any attacks to the Royal Family at this sort of time.
“But what is very, very clear is that if they want to build trust, they have a long way to go.”
The brothers’ bitter feud has sparked heartbreak among many experts, who reflect on the once “really, really” close bond the royals shared.
Charles Rae previously spoke on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show about how Harry used to be in line to act as Prince William’s top advisor.
‘Humiliated’ Harry is desperate to keep hold of military prestige after being stripped of titles
He claimed the estranged relationship would break Diana’s heart.
“They were really, really close. And this is what makes it so sad that they’re now so far apart,” he said.
HARRY KNOWS
Mr Fitzwilliams believed that after all the royal drama, the duke will always remember where he came from.
“Harry was brought up as a member of the Royal Family.
“He knows that. And regarding repairing the relationship, serious illness changes everything.
“My hope is that he would be certainly looking to repair things with his father, and I suspect that anything with William and Catherine will take much, much longer.
“But we don’t know, the Sussexes have from time to time surprised us in the past. Who knows.”

INVICTUS GAMES
It comes as acting legend Damian Lewis is expected to recite the Invictus poem during the Invictus Games anniversary service.
Harry previously said he would want the star to play him in a film about his life.
William Henley, the author of the sentimental poem, has a memorial bust within the Crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral.
Representatives from across the Invictus Games participating nations will be attending the heartwarming service.
They include members of the wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veteran community, confirmed the Invictus Games spokesperson.
They will also be performing readings throughout the Service, led by The Very Reverend Andrew Tremlett, Dean of St Paul’s.
Major members of the Royal Family – who did join in with early editions of Harry’s biannual event – are not expected to attend.
It is not known where the duke will be staying on his visit but he is homeless in the UK after being evicted last summer from Frogmore Cottage.
COMMENT: Veteran royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has spoken out about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s unpredictability.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should speak out on the Royal Family, an expert has said (Image: Getty)
We are currently seeing Prince Harry highlight his charitable work, which has considerable merit. This and his ability to communicate with people, especially the less fortunate, was one of the reasons he once held a unique place in the nation’s heart.
Yet there is a contradictory approach in the way the Sussexes support worthy causes and in their attitude to the Royal Family.
They know they are only significant because they are royal. Harry has chosen exile, which is his choice, especially as he was undoubtedly unhappy with aspects of his royal role.
However, it has long been rumoured that he is emotionally reliant on Meghan Markle and that she dominates in their relationship.
They must surely be the only royal couple in the world to monetise their royal connections, as well as attacking the Firm over a period of years.
However, they never face questions about the validity of their accusations.
As if to remind the world of how bitter he still is, the paperback version of his memoir, Spare, is published in Britain on 24th October when King Charles and Queen Camilla will be attending CHOGM in Samoa. This is the monarch’s first visit abroad since his cancer diagnosis and a trip of the highest importance.
Spare was a best seller in hardback, which is also likely to sell well in paperback. Last January Harry revealed that he had cut 400 pages from it as they were too toxic.
This was clearly a threat to the royal family, indicating that one day they might be published.
The interviews he gave promoting it were as ill-judged as its contents. King Charles evicted the Sussexes from Frogmore Cottage, their home in Britain, after he made personal attacks on Queen Camilla.
It is fortunate he has decided not to give further interviews, especially as his recent appearance on ITV and Meghan’s on CBS were controversial.

It is, however, a fact that the Invictus Games, his greatest achievement, Sentebale and WellChild, a charity for seriously ill children and their families for which he has just travelled to Britain, all predated his marriage.
It is a tragedy that the once supposedly inseparable brothers cannot be reunited, even in events honouring their mother.Last week Harry attended an event for the Diana Awards in New York.
In March, even though they were based in different continents, Harry and William would not appear in the same room in an event for this charity at the Science Museum in London.Another event in New York was for the HALO Trust, which campaigns for clearing landmines, which was a pivotal part of the Princess of Wales’s legacy.
Harry retraced her steps in Angola in 2019 and praised the progress made since then. This is an excellent cause.
So is Travalyst, which promotes sustainability in travel and tourism, which he founded in 2019. This sector causes high global emissions and a five-year initiative was announced.

There was also an event for Africa Parks which conserves protected areas in the continent. Harry is a board member and former President. This charity faces serious accusations of human rights abuses. Whilst they are being investigated, Harry should surely step aside as the human rights organization Survival International has urged.
He is now visiting Lesotho and South Africa, also solo. He co-founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, initially it was established to help HIV/AIDS sufferers. It now has a wider remit to help needy young people and the trip is likely to be a success.
However, reports indicate that the docuseries on polo he is producing for Netflix shows little footage of him. It may be admirable, as the Heart of Invictus documentary undoubtedly was, but few watched.
Polo is an elitist sport, he was surely the draw and it may well flop. Their contract worth $100 million, is pivotal for them, and they will hope it is renewed when it expires next year.
Meghan supports a variety of admirable causes, diversity, gender equality and campaigning against online abuse being prominent.
However, she has just been the subject of an extraordinary expose in the influential The Hollywood Reporter which gave reasons for the bizarrely high turnover of their staff, those who had left, were, it claimed, in “The Sussex Survivors Club”.
The soubriquet Meghan was given was “Duchess Difficult”. She was portrayed as “a dictator in high heels” who “terrifies” those working for her. It was also critical of the couple as “poor decision-makers” who “change their mind frequently”.

Meghan faced accusations of bullying staff when a senior working royal, which she called “a calculated smear campaign”. These were the subject of an inquiry conducted by Buckingham Palace which has never been made public.
In the months to come we will undoubtedly be seeing more of Harry in Britain. He may reappear in the witness stand, in cases alleging unlawful press intrusion.
His appeal against the withdrawal of his automatic police protection may result in the Sussexes being placed in the “other VIP category”.
However, though he may come more often, it is unlikely that Meghan would be a frequent visitor, as she would face such fierce hostility, especially from the press, who once, though she tends to forget this, were universally admiring.
There will continue to be enormous interest on whether Harry will take any steps towards reconciling the rift which has been so damaging, to the royal family and also to the Sussexes. With King Charles and the Princess of Wales both battling cancer, it is a extremely difficult period for the institution.
The royals, with good reason, do not trust them.Harry and Meghan preach “joy”, but despite their admirable charitable work, their unpredictability, which often manifests itself in hostility, gives their actions a Jekyll and Hyde flavour.
If they really believe what they preach, why don’t they say something positive publicly about the royal family? It just might work wonders in helping to heal their rift with it.

He said: “We did split up for a bit, but that was just, we were both very young, it was at university, and we were both sort of defining ourselves as such and being different characters and stuff.
Kate added: “It was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up.
“I at the time wasn’t very happy about it, but actually it made me a stronger person.
“You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn’t realized.

She suggests the couple moving up the royal ranks and becoming Prince and Princess of Wales may have made them less self-conscious about showing physical affection.
“Kate and William do look much less inhibited with their PDAs now they have moved up the royal pecking order.
“Last night’s bottom pat from Kate also showed where some of the power behind the scenes might lie.
“The couple looked totally relaxed and openly excited to be doing full glam on the red carpet.
“They used more eye contact than usual and their touch rituals had increased to create a suggestion of flirting.”
“William and Kate’s tactile, playful behaviours could be an answer to Harry with his comments about coolness and royal men marrying women who ‘fit into the mould’
“This seems to be Kate showing she should not be fitted into any mould, with her Hollywood-style glamour and her very cheeky gesture to her husband.”

The Princess of Wales released a statement on March 22, 2024, revealing that she has cancer.
The cancer was found after her successful abdominal surgery in January 2024.
She is undergoing chemotherapy at the moment.
Kate said in a statment:
“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, personally, for all the understanding whilst I’ve been recovering from surgery.
“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I have had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.
“In January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London, and at the time it was thought my condition was non-cancerous.
“The surgery was successful.
“However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.
“My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment.
“This of course came as a huge shock.
“William and I have been doing everything we can to process this privately for the sake of our young family.
“As you can imagine this has taken time.
It has taken time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.
“Most importantly it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be okay.
“As I have said to them, I am well and I’m getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind body and spirit.
“Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too, as is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you.
“It means so much to us both.
“We hope that you will understand that as a family we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment.
“My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery at this time.
“I am also thinking of all those lives affected by cancer.
“For everyone facing this disease in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope.

Last month, the mum-of-one revealed the £9.50 secret to her recent spout of hair growth after spending years wearing extensions.
Molly was once famed for her signature bun which drew volume from the long, faux hair – but she’s now taking a more natural approach to haircare.
Taking to YouTube, she explained that the product “activates hair follicles” and increases blood flow to her scalp.
It is the £9.50 Scalp Massager Shampoo Brush by FUL.
“I wanted to repurchase one of these because these are amazing for when you put your treatment in or your conditioner in the shower,” she said to the camera.
Brooklyn Beckham showed off his cooking skills as he made a rib ragu for his social media followers on Wednesday.
The amateur chef, 25, gave fans a step-by-step tutorial of how to whip up the dish – and his father David Beckham couldn’t resist leaving a playful comment on the clip.
In the video, Brooklyn filmed himself cutting up carrots and onions before he seasoned his ribs and added avacado oil to a pan.
He told viewers: ‘Right after they’ve got some colour on them, set them aside,’ before taking the meat out and adding: ‘It’s smelling nice already.’
He then added thyme and rosemary to his vegetable mix along with a small pot of tomato sauce.

Brooklyn appears to be taking after his father David who is also a fan of cooking
The former model then cooked his pasta and added plenty of cheese before the taste test where he seemed pleased with what he’d made.
Brooklyn’s father David commented on the video and asked: ‘Love it, is it as good as dad’s??’
The comment isn’t the first time the father and son have been competitve with each other. In January, Brooklyn shared a workout video only for David to follow suit.
The former footballer lived up to his heartthrob status as he showed off his muscular tattooed physique while doing press-ups shirtless.
David uploaded the video after Brooklyn shared an insight into his own routine at the gym as he did a series of chest flys with his personal trainer Chase Weber.
The footballer, who often roasts his sons on social media, gave a cheeky grin to the camera as he did press ups on dumbbells.
He captioned the shot: ‘998, 999, 1000′. Fans took to the comment section to gush over his ripped physique.’
They wrote: ‘He’s doing some “posh” ups’ and ‘Well that just warmed me up on this chilly day’.

It comes after Brooklyn launched his very first pop-up restaurant.
The socialite and former model has created a menu for his pop-up eatery which will offer five dishes inspired by his ‘global upbringing’.
Speaking of his new venture, he told the Mail: ‘I’ve been lucky enough to live in some pretty cool places.
‘I got my wife on Indian and Chinese takeaway. She’s obsessed with it now.
‘My Nanny Peggy taught me how to make her English Breakfast sandwich when I was five, and it’s been my favourite ever since.
‘I’ve always been into trying different foods, cuisines, and cultures, but that was one of my earliest memories of loving cooking.

The menu will also include a Chicken Tikka Masala, 12-hour slow-cooked Wagyu Bolognese, Pork and Prawn Dumplings and Buffalo Cauliflower with Brooklyn’s ‘secret’ hot sauce.
Prices will start at £10 and the menu will be available in London between January 25 and 26.

In another snap of the star, she was seen scaling a grand staircase at the venue while sporting a huge pair of sunglasses.
Jamie shared pictures and videos of the moment, captioned: ‘She said she’ll think about it!’, with Marisa commenting: ‘A weeping mess.’
In an apparent sweet nod to the late singer Amy, the pair celebrated on Primrose Hill – one of Amy’s favourite haunts.
In Jamie’s post, Marisa could be seen leaping into her partner’s arms, after he got down on one knee in the park, for a sweet embrace.
The actress was then surprised by her friends and family who had gathered to congratulate the couple on their joyous news.
An adorable snap holding onto a rose also allowed Marisa to show off her whopping diamond ring.
Marisa and Jamie celebrated their fourth anniversary in January.
Jamie is also an actor and made his professional debut in the West End adaptation of Moulin Rouge where he played Christian.

He is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning aged just 27 in 2011.
Despite Back To Black catapulting Marisa to fame, the biopic, directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, was slated by film critics.
They described the picture as a ‘poor piece of filmmaking’ and a ‘Saturday-night impersonation’ of the star.
