Prince William plays volleyball, visits Copacabana beach lifeguards

Britain's Prince William played football with Brazil's Cafu and volleyball on Copacabana Beach as he took in the charms of Rio de Janeiro before attending the COP30 climate summit this week.

The future king's first visit to Brazil is centered around his annual Earthshot Prize which awards one million pounds to five pioneering projects tackling threats to the environment. Climate change and nature are issues the 43-year-old heir has long championed, and he is set to address global leaders this week at COP30 UN climate talks in the Amazon, on behalf of his father King Charles III.
