- The Prince of Wales is in Brazil to stage his Earthshot Prize and participate in the Cop30 UN climate change summit.
- William shared that his motivation for the environmental awards stems from his concern as a father for the world his children will inherit, stating he wants to fight for their future.
- His brother, Prince Harry, is undertaking a visit to Canada this week, which clashes with William's Earthshot awards ceremony, though Harry's spokesperson stated the visit was long-planned.
