Prince William Praises Kate’s Health Ahead of Earthshot Prize Awards

Prince William Praises Kate’s Health Ahead of Earthshot Prize Awards

Prince William has shared an encouraging update regarding the health of the Princess of Wales, affectionately describing her as “amazing” during a recent public appearance.

Ahead of tonight’s highly anticipated Earthshot Prize awards taking place in Cape Town, the prince was inquired about how his wife Kate is faring. He responded warmly, saying: “She’s doing really well thanks. Hopefully, she’s watching tonight and cheering me on.”

Reflecting on the past year, he emphasized, “She’s been amazing this whole year and I know she’ll be really keen to see tonight be a success.”

In March, Kate courageously revealed that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy following the discovery of pre-cancerous cells, a significant health concern that raised public awareness.

In a reassuring announcement made in September, she shared with the world that she had successfully completed her treatment and expressed her commitment to “staying cancer free” as she moves forward.

Despite the challenges, Prince William has maintained a focus on his public responsibilities, opting not to discuss his wife’s diagnosis while continuing with his own duties.

William responded to questions after participating in rehearsals for tonight’s prestigious Earthshot Awards, the environmental initiative he proudly launched in 2021 aimed at fostering optimism in the ongoing climate crisis debate.

Since arriving in Cape Town, he has been seen wearing a sentimental bracelet engraved with the word ‘papa’, a charming gift from his daughter, Princess Charlotte, representing a personal connection to his family.

He explained, with warmth, “This is a relic from a Taylor Swift concert that my daughter decided that she wanted to create a bracelet for, and she gave it to me when I came away so I’ve promised her that I’d wear it and try not to lose it while I was out here.”

In his commitment to environmental education, he also emphasized the importance of involving his three children in discussions about sustainability, fostering a sense of responsibility at home.

The prince elaborated on his family’s efforts, stating: “Every family tries to do what they can to help with the environment and we go through the basics of recycling and making sure we minimise water use, turning lights off when you leave the house. We’re sensible with what we do around the environment. I think every family has those conversations.”

He added, “The Earthshot is trying to be more global than that – we’re trying to do big-scale ambition and business. I’ve brought the children along on that journey, and I hope they’re proud of what we are trying to do here which is to galvanise that energy and enthusiasm to make real impact.”

When asked about the present political climate regarding environmental issues, Prince William refrained from commenting on the US election result and Donald Trump’s stance on climate policy. Instead, he highlighted the collective desire for hope, stating: “Everyone wants some hope and some optimism and Earthshot comes with urgent optimism.”

He continued, “And as you’ll see tonight, the amount of youth from Africa who will be in here – they’ll be letting you know and letting everyone know that it matters to them.” He expressed urgency regarding their inclusion in environmental initiatives, remarking that “without them, the future is looking pretty bleak.” He further encouraged that “these are the game changers, the innovators, the inventors who are going to make the world a better place for us in future.”

The annual Earthshot Prize awards five deserving entrepreneurs, innovators, startups, or conservationists with a substantial prize of £1m each to assist in scaling their impactful ideas aimed at addressing some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

This year marks the fourth consecutive year that these significant awards have been held, underscoring its growing importance in the fight for a sustainable future.
