Prince William is currently visiting Brazil—without Kate Middleton—for the 2025 Earthshot Prize ceremony. The Prince of Wales is also attending COP30, the United Nations Climate Change Conference during the trip. Despite the public nature of both events, Prince William has so far refused to answer questions regarding the scandal surrounding his disgraced uncle, ex-Prince Andrew.
During an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Prince William was asked about the recent assertion he would seek to create "change for good" in his work, "given there has been a lot of change in [his] family recently," via the Daily Mail. Rather than discussing Andrew or any other difficulties the Royal Family had faced in recent months, Prince William pointed to "the brilliant people in [the] room," saying, "Change will come from backing them, not by what I do."
