Prince William to Attend Earthshot Prize Ceremony in Singapore without Kate Middleton

Amid Concerns of Reduced Media Coverage, the Duke of Cambridge Prepares for the Third Annual Earthshot Prize Ceremony and Other Eco-Events in Singapore.

The Earthshot Prize, founded by Prince William in 2020, is preparing for its third annual ceremony in Singapore, which the prince will attend without his wife, Kate Middleton. The prize seeks to protect, maintain and restore the planet by funding grassroots eco-initiatives globally.
Kate Middleton, typically a key figure at the award ceremony, will remain in the UK due to their eldest child, Prince George, undertaking school exams. Public interest tends to lean towards the female members of the royal family, thus her absence may impact media coverage for the event.
Prince William's previous solo attendances, such as at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in New York, were met with positive media coverage, indicating that successful coverage of the upcoming event in Singapore remains possible.
The Eco-Tour in Singapore, lasting from November 5 to 8, includes welcome events, the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony, a dragon boat race visit, and the United For Wildlife Global Summit 2023. However, it risks being overshadowed by King Charles and Queen Camilla's first State Opening of Parliament in London on November 7.
Along with the Earthshot Prize awards, William will also promote his United for Wildlife campaign fighting illegal wildlife trade. The trip will also involve an 'Earthshot Week', engaging businesses and investors with the award winners and finalists, and leveraging the influence of regional social media influencers to engage the younger demographic.
