Prince William will begin a four-day visit to South Africa this coming Monday which is being called Earthshot Week and it is expected that Catherine, Princess of Wales will not join him.

Although Catherine, Princess of Wales has been making a gradual return to royal duties since announcing that she has finished her treatment for cancer in a video by Will Warr, it is thought that she will not join her husband Prince William as he gets set to depart for Cape Town for the Earthshot Prize Awards.

The focus of Earthshot Week will be The Earthshot Awards in Cape Town, which will take place on Wednesday 6 November. It will be hosted by award-winning television presenter Bonang Matheba and Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winning Billy Porter. The Green Carpet pre-show will be livestreamed on YouTube, hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and Nomuzi Mabena (AKA Moozlie).
