Prince and Princess of Wales to travel to Mumbai for Earthshot Prize

The Prince and Princess of Wales will travel to Mumbai for the Earthshot Prize.

The Prince and Princess will attend a number of engagements together during the visit. They will both attend the Earthshot Prize Awards Night for the first time since the Awards were held in Boston in 2022.

The engagements will celebrate innovation, sustainability, youth leadership and the enduring connections between the United Kingdom and India. Their joint program will showcase a range of sectors and initiatives, from sustainable urban transport and responsible manufacturing to youth-led environmental action and India’s globally influential creative industries.

The Prince of Wales will attend The Earthshot Prize Impact Assembly and meet the 2026 Earthshot Prize Finalists.

Prince William and Catherine will also attend the inaugural Children’s Earthshot Awards Ceremony in recognition of the vital role young people have to play in the future of the planet. The Children’s Earthshot Awards involved 15,000 schools across 24 Indian states and young people aged between nine and seventeen. The children were invited to develop solutions to environmental challenges affecting the places where they live.

This will be the Prince and Princess’s second official visit to India. According to Kensington Palace, “Their Royal Highnesses look forward to spending time with people across Mumbai and celebrating the inspiring environmental solutions, innovation and young leadership that will be showcased throughout the visit and at the 2026 Earthshot Prize Awards Night.”
