Prince William was in South Africa this week to promote the Earthshot prize, an initiative he set up in 2021. The organisation awards financial prizes to those working on important environmental projects, and the annual ceremony was held in Cape Town on Wednesday evening.
During his time in South Africa, William met with volunteers at the National Sea Rescue Institute and also spent time with wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin, the son of the late Steven Irwin. But at the end of his trip, William spoke to journalists about the personal challenges and difficulties he has faced this year in the wake of his wife, Princess Kate, and his father, King Charles, both receiving cancer diagnosis' around the same time.
