The climate conference will align with the William's personal sustainability recognition program, which will wrap up in Rio de Janeiro the previous day he joins the COP summit on 6 November.

The King has been a prominent presence at past COP meetings, delivering the inaugural speech in the United Arab Emirates for COP28, including the statement: "We are custodians of the planet, not its owners".

"I have spent a significant amount of my life trying to alert people to the existential threats challenging our world over global warming, climate change and ecological decline," the sovereign addressed participants.
