Why Princess Kate Is Skipping the Earthshot Prize Again in 2025

ARDURA, SCOTLAND - APRIL 30: Prince William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales during a visit to Ardura Community Forest on April 30, 2025 in Ardura, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The Prince and Princess of Wales are on a two-day visit to the Isles of Mull and Iona on the 29th and 30th of April to engage with rural island communities. During their time on the islands, they will connect with local residents, highlighting the value of social bonds and underscoring the importance of safeguarding and advocating for the natural environment.

Next month, the Prince of Wales will travel to Brazil for the 2025 Earthshot Prize, which will hold its first South American ceremony in Rio de Janeiro on Nov. 5. The ceremony will mark the halfway point for the Earthshot Prize, which Prince William founded in 2020 with with the goal of promoting a decade of dedicated work toward solving the biggest environmental challenges facing our planet today through 2030.

The Earthshot Prize is understandably a cause that's especially close to William's heart, but when it comes time to leave for the trip, he will be going solo, as his wife, Kate Middleton, is once again not scheduled to accompany him for the event.
