Prince William remembers Africa in good words

Africa holds a special place in Prince William's heart, as the future king will return to the continent after six years.

His visit comes because of the fourth Earthshot Prize event held in South Africa on Wednesday— where he last toured in 2010 with his brother Prince Harry.

“Africa has always held a special place in my heart – as somewhere I found comfort as a teenager, where I proposed to my wife and most recently as the founding inspiration behind the Earthshot Prize," the Prince of Wales said.

He will be in Cape Town for a four-day visit to host a ceremony where a £1 million prize will be distributed to five winners to further their climate change projects.

“It was in Namibia in 2018 that I realised the power of how innovative, positive solutions to environmental problems could drive transformative change for humans and nature," the 42-year-old added.

Not to mention, the upcoming monarch's last visit to the African country with his brother was their first joint overseas tour, according to Hello!.

The report said at the time, the trip was presented as a chance for the royal brothers to "show one another the work their respective charities and organizations had achieved in the region."
