PRINCE William was in Dubai last night on his first foreign royal visit since the pandemic.
He was taking his Earthshot eco-contest global, linking winners to rich investors who are backing the global environmental prize.
The Duke of Cambridge will also be celebrating the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games baton relay reaching the Dubai Expo.
But he will not meet Dubai’s billionaire ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.
The Sheikh is accused of imprisoning his own daughter Princess Latifa.
Wills last year handed out the first £5million Earthshot prize-money at a glittering ceremony in London.
He will showcase five finalists to investors at Dubai Expo 2020.
Last year’s winners included a start-up growing coral in the Caribbean and an Indian entrepreneur reducing smoke emissions by 90 per cent in farming. The final is held in the USA later this year.
