Prince William has begun a four-day visit to South Africa, focusing on climate and environmental issues. He will award $1.2 million in grants to five organizations through his Earthshot Prize and attend a global wildlife summit.
During his trip, William will meet with young environmentalists and local fishermen. He will also visit a sea rescue institute and a high school, where he is expected to participate in a rugby practice.
This marks William's first visit to Africa since 2018. The Earthshot Prize aims to inspire young people in climate action, particularly in regions vulnerable to climate change.
