SINGAPORE: Prince William arrived on Sunday (Nov 5) in Singapore for the annual Earthshot Prize awards, the first to be held in Asia, to support environmental innovators with solutions to battle climate change and save the planet.
Upon his arrival, dozens of people waving British flags welcomed him with loud cheers. Prince William, 41, shook hands, signed autographs and sportingly took selfies with many of them during a walkabout.
At Singapore’s Changi Airport and before greeting the crowd, Prince William stood on an upper floor for a stunning view of the 40m high Rain Vortex, the world’s largest indoor waterfall that was illuminated green to mark his arrival. He was also shown a tree planted in his honor in the indoor garden at the foot of the waterfall.
Prince William will address the star-studded ceremony, to be hosted by English actress Hannah Waddingham. Renowned wildlife conservationist Robert Irwing and celebrities including Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett and actresses Lana Condor and Nomzamo Mbatha, are expected to attend the event. Prince William arrives at Jewel Changi Airport and was greeted by a large crowd surrounding the rain vortex. He was accompanied by Mrs Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
