Prince William provided some emotional moments in Brazil when he posed in front of the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. This is the same place where his mother, Princess Diana, took an iconic photo in 1991. The statue of Christ, a usually crowded landmark, was closed for the Prince and the 15 Earthshot finalists to speak undisturbed about their experiences and hopes for the future.
An emotional reunion
William is on a five-day trip to Brazil to host his Earthshot Prize. This global environmental competition is looking for solutions to save the planet. After posing with the finalists in front of the statue, William went to the same spot where his mother once posed for a photo. From there, he enjoyed the breathtaking view of the city, which was partially shrouded in clouds.
An important event
The highlight of the trip was the Earthshot awards ceremony, which took place at the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio. Stars such as Kylie Minogue and Canadian singer Shawn Mendes performed, while five winners each received one million pounds.
