Prince William Celebrates a Decade of Love with Kate and Looks to the Future in Africa

In a heartfelt message, Prince William took a moment to reflect on his decade-long marriage to Kate Middleton, sharing personal insights about their journey together.

As he prepares for a trip to Cape Town next week, he highlighted the significance of Africa in both his life and his philanthropic efforts.

William expressed that Africa has always been close to his heart.

In his note, he reminisced about how the continent provided him solace during his younger years.

He fondly recalled that it was here he proposed to Kate, making it a pivotal location in their love story.

This deep connection to Africa also inspired the Earthshot Prize, an initiative aimed at fostering innovative solutions to environmental challenges.

During his visit to Namibia in 2018, William recognized the potential for positive change through eco-innovation.

He was struck by the ways in which communities can tackle environmental issues while benefiting both people and nature.

This revelation became a driving force behind the Earthshot Prize, which is now entering its fourth year.

Scheduled for November 6, this year's awards will unveil the next group of 15 finalists, showcasing remarkable projects from across the globe.
