GB News halts for Princess Kate announcement as host issues ‘significant’ update
GB News issued a major update on Princess Catherine as she embarks on an official three-day visit to India with Prince William. GB News‘ royal correspondent marked the “incredibly significant” moment on the programme, revealing this is Princess Catherine’s first major overseas tour alongside Prince William in around four years. He highlighted that Catherine’s first major overseas tour comes more than one year after the 44-year-old announced she was in remission after being diagnosed with cancer.
“Following that pretty successful trip to Reggio Emilia in Italy around six months ago, it appears that she is confident enough to travel long haul for the first time in a number of years,” Cameron continued.
There has been a lot of speculation but finally, this morning, Kensington Palace has confirmed the Princess will be travelling with Prince William for the annual Earthshot Prize.”
He revealed the last time the Princess of Wales joined her husband for the Earthshot Prize was in Boston in 2022.
“I’m also told by a spokesperson for the Prince and Princess of Wales that she is incredibly proud of her husband and all he has achieved with his environmental prize,” Cameron went on.
But also, perhaps slightly more significantly, I’m told the couple are incredibly excited to be back in India for the first time in a decade.”
During their last trip to the country in 2016, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited New Delhi, Mumbai, and also sat on the same bench that Princess Diana famously did outside the Taj Mahal in 1992.
This time, the couple’s short and focused three-day visit will be spent in Mumbai, with the British government and Foreign Office hoping to use the popularity of the future King and Queen to “boost Brand Britain” on the world stage.
Cameron explained that the government’s focus is on strengthening ties with India, particularly as it tries to reduce trading tariffs and increase defence and technology ties.
Prince William‘s focus will be on the EarthShot Prize and I’m also told the Princess of Wales will have one or two engagements tailored to her in this week,” the GB News star added.
The bulk of the programme in Mumbai this week focuses on the future King’s annual environmental prize, dedicated to identifying, celebrating and backing innovative solutions to climate change, meeting this year’s finalists at an iconic Mumbai location and attending the inaugural Children’s Earthshot Awards Ceremony.
Catherine missed the awards in Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town in 2024 and 2025 respectively due to her cancer recovery. She also missed the awards in 2023, held in Singapore, as her eldest child, Prince George, 13, was preparing for an important school exam.
