Prince William speaks out for first time since Queen's funeral with New York speech

Prince William has spoken out for the first time since his grandmother the Queen's funeral on Monday.

The new Prince of Wales addressed a gathering in New York, where he had been due to attend the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit. He said that he couldn't be there in person due to the "saddest of occasions," the Mirror reports.

William was originally due to make a solo trip to the United States on September 21, where he would have been joined by previous winners of the £50m global environmental competition. In a video broadcast on Wednesday, the Prince said he believed Elizabeth would have "been delighted to hear about" the summit.
