Today, the Prince of Wales visited the Oval cricket ground, continuing his engagements while his wife, Kate, recuperates from abdominal surgery at home.
Prince William accompanied him to celebrate an Earthshot Prize winner’s achievement—a new contract supplying sustainable packaging for sporting venues. With the King stepping back from public duties due to cancer treatment, the heir has assumed more responsibilities in recent weeks.
Balancing royal duties with supporting Kate, who is expected to remain at home until after Easter, and caring for their children—George, Charlotte, and Louis—has kept him occupied.
To fill the gap left by absent family members, Queen Camilla has taken the lead at various events, supported by Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie.
Edward and Sophie were seen engaging in their royal duties, meeting the Leeds Rhinos Women rugby league team at Headingley Stadium earlier.

During today’s engagement, Prince William, the founder of the Earthshot environmental prize, joined Pierre Paslier, co-founder and co-chief executive officer of Notpla, to learn about their company’s significant new deal worth millions.
Prince Charles’s visit to the Oval cricket ground was part of his ongoing efforts to promote environmental sustainability, a cause he has long been passionate about.
He launched the Earthshot Prize in 2021, which aims to incentivize and accelerate solutions to the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
The Prince’s presence at the event highlights the importance of sustainable practices in sports and entertainment venues. The use of sustainable packaging not only reduces waste but also sets an example for other industries to follow.
Meanwhile, Prince William’s involvement in the Earthshot Prize winner’s achievements underscores the royal family’s commitment to environmental conservation. The multi-million-pound deal with Notpla is a significant step towards promoting eco-friendly practices in the sports industry.
As the royal family navigates through a period of change and transition, with the King’s health concerns and Queen Camilla stepping up to fulfill more public duties, the younger generation of royals, including Prince William, is stepping in to support and continue the family’s legacy of service.
Prince William’s presence at the Oval Cricket Ground demonstrates his dedication to the Earthshot Prize’s mission and his commitment to promoting sustainability.
His engagement with Pierre Paslier and Notpla showcases the potential for innovation and collaboration in addressing environmental challenges.
The royal family’s involvement in initiatives like the Earthshot Prize highlights their role as global ambassadors for environmental conservation and sustainability. Their actions and engagements inspire individuals and organizations worldwide to take action towards a more sustainable future.
