Ahead of Wednesday’s Earthshot Prize awards ceremony, Prince William is sightseeing and showing off his beach volleyball skills in Brazil.

When the Prince of Wales landed in Rio de Janeiro on Monday, he was greeted with cheers and given a key to the city by Mayor Eduardo Paes.

Earthshot is his legacy, and he is passionate about what it is trying to achieve.”
