Prince William Will Visit NYC in September for the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit

Earlier this summer, news broke that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to Boston to celebrate the second annual Earthshot Prize, but that's not the only appearance for east coast royal fans to get excited about. Today, Kensington Palace announced that Prince William will also be heading to New York City in September for another Earthshot-related event, The Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit.
The summit "aims to drive impact around systems-changing climate solutions and amplify The Earthshot Prize’s call to accelerate progress to repair our planet through collaboration and bold innovation," according to a release on the event. It will be co-hosted by The Earthshot Prize and Bloomberg Philanthropies on September 21, 2022, coinciding with the city's Climate Week and the 77th Session of the UN General Assembly.
William is expected to appear at the event alongside philanthropist and former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg, who also serves as Global Advisor to the Winners of The Earthshot Prize. Finalists and winners of last year's inaugural Earthshot Prize will also attend.
"Accelerating the world’s climate progress requires us to take urgent, ambitious action from every angle," Bloomberg said in the release. "As global leaders get set to gather in New York, the Bloomberg team is working with our partners Prince William and The Earthshot Prize to showcase the most innovative climate solutions and help them spread more quickly. We’ve been glad to support The Earthshot Prize from the beginning, and we look forward to helping even more climate leaders get their promising ideas off the ground."
Beyond his planned appearance at the summit, it's not clear whether William will be attending any other events during his time in NYC, or whether he might be accompanied by his wife, or any other members of the royal family.
