The Prince and Princess of Wales will travel to Singapore later this year for the final of William’s environmental award.

The couple will travel to the south east Asian country in November after it was selected as the destination of the third annual awards ceremony for the Prince’s Earthshot prize.

During the event the five winners of The Earthshot Prize 2023 will be awarded £1million.

The ceremony will also feature performances by world-renowned musicians and artists.

The Prince and Princess of Wales teased today’s announcement on their official Twitter page yesterday, writing: ‘Where’s The #EarthshotPrize heading to in 2023?’ followed by two eyes and a poll in which the answers spelled out ‘We’ll tell you tomorrow’.

Announcing the destination today, Prince William, 40, said: ‘The Earthshot Prize is all about showing the world that solutions to some of the biggest environmental challenges we face are out there. After two years of discovering impactful ideas and innovations, I am delighted that The Earthshot Prize is travelling to Singapore, where the ground-breaking solutions of our 2023 Finalists will be celebrated.’

Last year’s ceremony took place in the US in Boston, when guests arrived in hybrid vehicles and were encouraged to wear vintage, recycled or reusable clothing. Kate, who presented an award, wore a rented lime green Solace London dress from fashion platform Hurr and teamed it with an emerald choker worn by Princess Diana.

William has said that Earthshot was inspired by John F Kennedy’s Moonshot programme which challenged America to put man on the moon and helped launch the Moon landing in 1969. Last year’s winners included a British start-up, Notpla, which uses seaweed to make packaging.
