The royal couple will undertake a three-day visit to India for the annual environmental awards ceremony.
Prince William and Kate Middleton will travel to Mumbai this week for the 2026 Earthshot Prize awards. According to the Times of India, the three-day visit includes an awards ceremony scheduled for Tuesday, November 17.
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, will be making her most significant overseas engagement since undergoing preventative chemotherapy for cancer in 2024. While she announced she was in remission in early 2025, she noted in a Country Life magazine interview that her recovery has not been linear and involves both good and bad days.
The Earthshot Prize was established by Prince William in 2020 to find ways to address climate change and environmental issues. The programme provides five winners with £1 million each to expand their respective projects.
The Mumbai ceremony is expected to be the largest edition to date, with approximately 5,000 attendees. Guests include Sachin Tendulkar, Alia Bhatt, and Rami Malek, while the British group Take That is set to perform in India for the first time.
A spokesperson for the couple's office at Kensington Palace said the visit will focus on sustainability, youth leadership, innovation, and the relationship between the UK and India. The royals are also expected to attend events related to Indian cinema, fashion, and cricket during their stay.
