Prince William Visits Singapore for Earthshot Prize Ceremony and United for Wildlife Summit; Kate Middleton Absent Due to Prince George's Exams

Prince William's Singapore trip targets environmental challenges through the third Earthshot Prize and the United for Wildlife Summit; Kate Middleton stays home to support Prince George during his first major exams.

Prince William visited Singapore for the third annual Earthshot Prize awards ceremony and the United for Wildlife Summit, focusing on important global environmental challenges.
Kate Middleton chose not to join Prince William on this trip, as she stayed back to support their son Prince George through his first set of major exams.
This marks the first time that Kate Middleton has missed the Earthshot Prize ceremony since its inception in 2020. She has previously supported this initiative and appeared with Prince William at the inaugural awards ceremony in London and then in Boston the following year.
During the United for Wildlife summit, Prince William passionately addressed the need to combat illicit wildlife trade. He cited the significant damage caused to wildlife populations in the past 50 years, and urged for increased international collaboration to combat these criminal activities.
Prince William announced the creation of the International Statement of Principles, an agreement between multiple governments committed to combating the illegal wildlife trade by targeting the financial activity that supports it.
