Prince William’s Brazil trip: Earthshot Prize and Wildlife Summit details revealed

Kensington Palace has unveiled Prince William’s detailed itinerary for his forthcoming trip to Brazil.

The Prince of Wales is set to embark on his first official visit next week to Rio de Janeiro next week for a three-day tour, during which he will attend major environmental events.

Prince William will arrive in Brazil on Monday, November 3, to take part in two key engagements: the United for Wildlife Global Summit on Tuesday, November 4, and the fifth Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony on Wednesday, November 5.

According to the palace, during the trip, he will visit local ecosystems to gain firsthand insight into ongoing conservation initiatives and is also scheduled to meet with indigenous leaders and environmental advocates.

The father of three will also participate in the United for Wildlife summit, which focuses on combating the illegal trade in wildlife parts and endangered species.

In a statement released by his spokesperson, Prince William will use the 2025 Earthshot Prize Awards to highlight “the next generation of climate leaders and on why now, more than ever, action is needed to protect and restore the planet.”

“It’s an exciting time to be in Brazil as across Latin America, environmental leaders are driving bold, innovative approaches to protect and restore vital ecosystems like the Amazon, while creating local jobs and economic opportunities,” the spokesperson added.

It’s worth noting that Prince William founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020 with The Royal Foundation to support solutions addressing the planet’s most urgent environmental challenges.
