Prince William Engages in Social Media Outreach, Advocates for Environmental Causes During Singapore Visit

Prince William announces global partnership to end illegal wildlife trade and reveals plans for measurable change in his royal role during Singapore visit.

  • During his visit to Singapore, Prince William engaged in social media outreach, answering questions on Instagram about the Earthshot Prize and his favorite football team, Aston Villa.
  • Prince William announced a global partnership to end illegal wildlife trade at the United for Wildlife summit, an initiative he founded in 2014. The partnership includes countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and Singapore.
  • The Prince of Wales is aiming to reinvent his royal role by focusing on measurable change in his environmental initiatives, rather than spreading himself thin across numerous social causes.
  • Prince William wore a tie made from discarded plastic bottles during his Singapore visit, highlighting his commitment to sustainability. The tie was designed by Wilmok, a small business that also donates to provide food for underprivileged children in Nepal with every purchase.
  • The absence of Kate Middleton during the Earthshot Prize ceremony in Singapore was noted, with suggestions that her presence usually generates additional media coverage. The Princess of Wales stayed home to support their eldest son, Prince George, during his exams.
