William said it is “fantastic to be back in Singapore” after he arrived ahead of the Earthshot Prize ceremony later this week.

In a personal post on X, William said: “Hello Singapore It’s fantastic to be back in Singapore for this year’s Earthshot Prize ceremony, after eleven years.

“Singapore’s bold vision to be a leader for environmental innovation sets the standard for others to follow.

“I am grateful to the Singaporean people for hosting us this week.

“Let us all take inspiration from the fantastic work being done here as we celebrate this year’s Earthshot Prize finalists. W”.

During his four-day trip to Singapore, the prince will take part in Earthshot Week, a series of events bringing together businesses and investors with past winners and current finalists to accelerate their solutions.

William will also take part in dragon boating, meet Singaporeans to learn how they are working locally to protect the planet, and attend a United for Wildlife summit, aimed at tackling the illegal trade in animal parts.

It comes after Harry and Meghan’s biographer Omid Scobie accused The King of being “unpopular”.

The author also alleges Prince William is “power hungry” and Queen Camilla is “willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image.

And Prince Harry was “forced to start a new life” after being “betrayed by his own family”, Scobie claims.

The attacks feature in advertising material for ‘Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival’.

A publishing source told the Mail on Sunday the 416-page book will contain “bombshell after bombshell”.

Scobie claims to have interviewed “current and former Palace staff” for the book, due out November 21.
