Princess Kate ‘not expected’ to join Prince William at Earthshot awards

Princess Anne shares insight on William and Kate’s children

Princess Kate is “not expected” to join Prince William when he travels to Singapore in November for the Earthshot Awards ceremony, according to reports.

The Prince of Wales will be in the South East Asian country to announce the five winners of the 2023 prize, with the 15 finalists being revealed during his trip to New York this week.

Although Kate joined him for the 2022 ceremony in Boston, Massachusetts, it is understood she will not make the trip this time around, The Telegraph has said.

No specific reason has been given for her absence, but there is speculation it could be to do with her and William’s three children, as she may want to spend the time with them.

The Prince and Princess have also decided not to undertake a royal tour this year, following the controversy surrounding their trip to the Caribbean in 2022.

The Prince founded the groundbreaking awards in 2020, saying he wanted to turn “current pessimism surrounding environmental issues into optimism by celebrating the people and places driving change”.

The Earthshot prize aims to recognise and encourage those whose innovative inventions that are fighting climate change and protecting the environment.

Every year from 2021 to 2030 five winners will be awarded £1 million each to help make their visions a reality, with the first prizes being awarded at the inaugural ceremony in London two years ago, which the Waleses attended together.

William travelled alone to New York this week, but according to body language expert Darren Stanton he appeared to show his “nerves” without Kate by his side.

He said on behalf of Betfair Bingo: “While Kate is naturally quite confident during both solo and joint engagements, William appears more sure of himself when in the company of his wife.

“While he still holds himself in a way that would be perceived as a confident manner to the public, gestures like placing his hands in his pockets and his smile not seeming as engaged would signal that he is feeling some manner of nerves during his solo trip.”

He added: “Kate is William’s rock and we often see him letting her take the lead during their joint engagements, with the royal happy to watch on proudly as she takes charge during interactions.

“Out solo, William takes a more reserved approach and isn’t as animated as he can be when joined by Kate. The use of minimal gestures during his first outing in New York is similar to those made by the late Queen when appearing publicly. He chooses to have more of an understated yet stoic presence.”

One firefighter even asked William why his wife had not joined him in NYC, although he “didn’t answer”.

Kate meanwhile appeared in her element as she carried out two solo engagements in Somerset and London this week.
