New York Earthshot trip for William

THE Duke of Cambridge is to travel to New York next month to attend an Earthshot Prize innovation summit as a countdown to the awards being staged in the US. William will make the solo trip to the Big Apple on September 21, where he will be joined by previous winners of his £50 million global environmental competition. The second Earthshot Prize awards ceremony is set to be held in Boston in December, after the inaugural event at London’s Alexandra Palace last year.
