Kate, Britain\u2019s Princess of \u200bWales, will undertake her biggest foreign trip since having treatment for cancer when she \u200cjoins her husband, Prince William, in India for his annual Earthshot Prize awards<\/u><\/a> this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heir-to-the-throne William, 44, and Kate are flying out for a series of events across Mumbai during a three-day visit that includes Tuesday\u2019s awards ceremony.<\/p>\n

For Kate, 44, the trip \u200bmarks her most high-profile overseas visit since she had preventative chemotherapy for an unspecified form \u200bof cancer in 2024.<\/p>\n

While she is now in remission, she says the illness still \u2060impacts<\/u><\/a> her life.<\/p>\n

William, who, like his father King Charles, has made campaigning on the environment one of \u200bhis biggest causes, founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020 with the aim of finding solutions to climate change.<\/p>\n

It \u200bawards five winners \u00a31 million each to scale up their projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Prince, Earthshot is ultimately about replacing pessimism with possibility,\u201d a spokesperson for the couple\u2019s office at Kensington Palace said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is about demonstrating that while the environmental challenges facing our \u200bplanet are serious, the ingenuity, determination and creativity being applied to solving them are every bit as \u200bpowerful.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Cricket, fashion and cinema<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the awards ceremony, which organisers say will be its biggest so far, the royals will be \u200cjoined by \u2060a number of celebrities including Indian cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar, actors Alia Bhatt and Rami Malek, and British pop group Take That, who will give their first-ever performance in India.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be performing here for the very first time, after all these years, and alongside the extraordinary people creating a better future for our \u200bplanet \u2014 is really special,\u201d \u200bthe group said in \u2060a statement.<\/p>\n

Away from Earthshot, the royals will also attend events linked to Indian cricket<\/u><\/a>, fashion and cinema.<\/p>\n

Since her illness, Kate has significantly reduced her official workload, saying she \u200bwas taking each day as it comes.<\/p>\n

While her public appearances have \u200bgradually increased, she \u2060has not joined William on any previous foreign trips.<\/p>\n

Her only significant overseas visit since 2024 came in May when she travelled alone to Italy<\/u><\/a> for two days as part of her work focusing on early childhood development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was \u2060told \u200bin hospital that my recovery would not be linear. There will \u200bbe good days and bad days, that it will take time,\u201d she said in an interview published this week in the latest edition \u200bof Country Life<\/em> magazine, for which William was guest editor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
