The Prince of Wales delights Shawn Mendes’s mother in an unexpected move
Prince William recently won the hearts of Shawn Mendes and his mother by displaying a heartfelt gesture aimed at her.
The 27-year-old singer spoke about the sweet move at the green carpet for the Prince of Wales’s Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Rio de Janeiro.
"She's still shaking, thank you," Mendes told William in a video shared by PEOPLE Magazine.
The father-of-three surprised the Stitches hitmaker’s mother, Karen, with the cake after learning that her birthday was on Sunday.
Karen, who is originally a British citizen from Dorset County in Southwest England, was left stunned by the surprise, Mendes shared.
The Señorita singer met William ahead of the ceremony at the Museum of Tomorrow, before he performed alongside Anitta, Seu Jorge, and Kylie Minogue.
It is worth noting that the Earthshot Prize was founded by Prince William in 2020 with the purpose of finding and scaling up solutions to the world's greatest environmental challenges over a 10-year period
The prize offers $1.3 million every year in five categories, including Protect and Restore Nature, Clean Our Air, Revive Our Oceans, Build a Waste-Free World, and Fix Our Climate.
