Prince William, the Prince of Wales is expected in Cape Town in November, where he is expected to be a guest at the Earthshot Prize awards.
The British Royal is expected to arrive in South Africa in five weeks, but questions remain if his wife, Princess Kate, will join him on the trip.
Taking to their official Twitter page, the Kensington Royal shared their excitement for the upcoming trip.
South African royal enthusiasts are excited for the upcoming trip but many are wondering if his wife Kate will be joining on the international trip.
The 42-year-old royal in September returned to work for the first time since completing her chemotherapy treatment. Kate was diagnosed with cancer and undergoing abdominal surgery in January.
This year, The Earthshot Prize will bring its annual celebration to South Africa for the first time, following events in London in 2021, Boston in 2022 and Singapore in 2023.
There are just five weeks to go until we're in Cape Town for the fourth annual @EarthshotPrize!
