The Princess of Wales will not attend Prince William’s Earthshot Awards, in what has been dubbed a ‘huge blow’ to organisers.
Kate, 41, will reportedly not travel to Singapore with her husband in November and instead stay at home with Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five.
It’s believed the royal doesn’t want to disturb the children’s education during term time and is instead working to have a ‘stable home life in preparation for their royal careers’, according to the Mirror.
The mother-of-three attended the previous two Earthshot Awards in Boston and London.
MailOnline has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.

Prince William founded the awards in 2020, saying he wanted to turn ‘current pessimism surrounding environmental issues into optimism by celebrating the people and places driving change’.
Every year between 2021 and 2030, an awards ceremony will honour winners in the prize’s five categories who are creating innovations which tackle environmental issues. Each winner is given £1million to support and scale their work.
Last year, Kate presented an award, while donning a rented lime green Solace London dress from fashion platform HURR.
The Sabrina frock, by Solace London, cost £74 a night to rent. It was described by the platform as a ‘floor length modern gown featuring an exaggerated neckline’.
It boasted a ‘body conscious fit’, and a concealed closure belt to define the waist, as well as the brand’s signature high kick split.
She accessorised the look with an emerald choker that had previously been worn by Princess Diana.
The necklace, which was gifted to Queen Mary in 1911 by the Ladies of India, was given to Diana by Queen Elizabeth, on lifetime loan.

Announcing the destination of the Earthshot Prize ceremony in May this year, Prince William said: ‘The Earthshot Prize is all about showing the world that solutions to some of the biggest environmental challenges we face are out there.
‘After two years of discovering impactful ideas and innovations, I am delighted that The Earthshot Prize is travelling to Singapore, where the ground-breaking solutions of our 2023 Finalists will be celebrated.’
William has said that Earthshot was inspired by John F Kennedy’s Moonshot programme which challenged America to put man on the moon and helped launch the Moon landing in 1969.
Last year’s winners included a British start-up, Notpla, which uses seaweed to make packaging.
