rince William has revealed that the 2025 Earthshot Awards will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in November, marking a significant step for the royal couple. While the event is still months away, speculation is growing about whether Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, will accompany him on the trip.
Kate has been absent from several royal events in recent years due to her battle with cancer, but now, with her cancer in remission, her public appearances are becoming more frequent. Although it has not yet been confirmed, many are hopeful that she will join William in Brazil, given her recovery and the family’s growing desire to return to normalcy.
In 2024, Prince William expressed his hope for Kate to resume her royal duties more actively. “We hope Catherine can do more things next year,” he shared, hinting at more travels and engagements for the couple. However, the focus remains on family, particularly the education of their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, who are not expected to accompany their parents on this trip.
Last year, Kate was notably absent from the Earthshot Awards due to supporting George during his exams. As Prince William remarked at the event, “Catherine is very sorry she can’t be here. She’s helping George with his first exams.”
This announcement marks a new chapter for the couple, signaling a potential return to royal duties for Kate as she continues her recovery. If she joins William in Brazil, it will be a major milestone in her journey back into the public eye.
