Kate skipping huge awards will leave Prince William 'kicking himself' - expert
Prince William will be "kicking himself" that the Princess of Wales is skipping his prestigious Earthshot Prize awards, a royal expert has claimed. Many thought Kate would definitely be travelling to Singapore for the third annual event but the Mirror revealed she would not be attending, with royal sources later saying she decided to stay at home to support Prince George, who has school exams that week.
Kensington Palace has refused to comment on what exams future king George, 10, will be taking. However, the preliminary entrance exams for Eton College, known as ISEBs, occur at that time as the Earthshot Prize during the first week of November. Several other elite private schools also use the exams.

She told OK! magazine: "I cheered out loud when I learned that Catherine had chosen to stay home with George. It’s absolutely the right decision. Official duties will come and go; children need their parents, and they grow up fast. There will be more Earthshot events and prizes. But this year, George has his own big event going on - exams.
"It is entirely right that his mum should be there to help him through them. I expect William is kicking himself that his schedule clashes with George's exams, but he will be wholly supportive of Catherine staying home to help their son."
Prince George with his mum Kate (PA)George has been spotted visiting Eton, which his father William and uncle Prince Harry both attended and is widely expected to attend the school. He is currently a pupil at Lambrook Primary School, along with his younger siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Lambrook, however, only teaches students until age 13.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were spotted in June touring the campus with their eldest son. It's possible that in three years, the young prince will attend the all-boys school, which is located near Windsor Castle, where the family now live after leaving Kensington Palace.
When William enrolled in Eton in 1995, he became the first senior royal to attend the school in Berkshire, England. King Charles, and the late Prince Philip, attended Gordonstoun, a boarding school in Scotland, but his maternal uncle and grandfather attended Eton. Other royals to have attended Eton include Queen Elizabeth II's first cousins Prince Edward, Prince Richard, and Prince Michael.
Royal sources have questioned why the Princess of Wales has failed to make any international travel in nearly a year. Kate's star quality at last year's Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston shone through as she dazzled in a stunning, floor-length dress from rental firm HURR by Solace London and Princess Diana's emerald choker. As she and William arrived at the awards, they were given a pop star's welcome and were greeted by hundreds of screaming fans.
It was a star-studded event with other attendees including Oscar winners Rami Malek and David Beckham as well as singers Annie Lennox and Ellie Goulding and actors Daniel Dae Kim and Catherine O’Hara. Kate also attended the inaugural Earthshot Prize awards in 2021 when they were held at London's Alexandra Palace and wore a beautiful lilac dress by Alexander McQueen, which was a repeat wear. At both ceremonies, she gave a speech and presented an award.
