Prince William burnishes credentials as king-in-waiting with Earthshot Prize and COP30 in Brazil

LONDON (AP) — We’ve seen a lot of Prince William recently — and we’re going to see a lot more.

The heir to the British throne will be on the streets of Rio de Janeiro this week to promote his Earthshot Prize , an initiative to find solutions to major environmental issues. That will be followed by the United Nations Climate Summit COP30 , also in Brazil, where William will represent his father, King Charles III, and the U.K. government.
