King Charles and Prince William made a rare joint appearance last night as they attended a major climate event in London.
The father and son stepped out together on Thursday evening for the Countdown to COP30 reception at the Natural History Museum. The event was held to highlight environmental challenges ahead of the COP30 climate summit, which will take place in Belém, Brazil, next month.
According to Kensington Palace, the Prince of Wales will represent his father at the conference.

Arriving together on October 9, the King, 76, and the Prince of Wales, 43, were seen chatting warmly with fellow guests, including environmentalists, scientists, politicians, and climate campaigners. Among the attendees were Energy and Climate Secretary Ed Miliband, Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds, and former Prime Minister Theresa May.
The pair’s joint appearance — their first in several months — was met with delight from royal fans after the Royal Family’s official Instagram account shared footage from the evening.
