The royal couple will attend the environmental awards ceremony in Mumbai during a three-day visit starting on November 16, 2026.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Katherine (Kate), are scheduled to arrive in Mumbai for a three-day visit starting on Monday, November 16, 2026, according to The Hindu. The visit focuses on the annual Earthshot Prize, with the awards ceremony taking place on Tuesday evening, November 17.
The Earthshot Prize was instituted by Prince William in 2020 to recognise solutions to pressing environmental problems. Each of the five finalists will receive £1 million, which is approximately ₹12.5 crore. Kensington Palace stated that India has produced more finalists for the prize than any other country.
The Mumbai ceremony is expected to be attended by various personalities, including Sachin Tendulkar, Alia Bhatt, and Rami Malek. The event will be hosted by Karan Johar and will feature a performance by the British pop group Take That.
The trip marks a significant overseas engagement for Princess Kate as she gradually resumes public duties following her cancer diagnosis in 2024. She announced she was in remission in January 2025, though she has noted that her recovery continues to have difficult days.
During the visit, the couple will also attend the inaugural Children’s Earthshot Awards Ceremony, which follows a contest involving 15,000 schools across 24 States. The royal couple will stay in Mumbai until Wednesday night, November 18, 2026.
