The Prince of Wales is heading to the United States in the coming months.

But his wife the Princess of Wales, and their three children, are not expected to make the journey.

Prince William's visit is also expected to spark rumours he'll reunite with brother Prince Harry, but that's highly unlikely.
Prince William will be in New York on Monday September 18 and Tuesday September 19.
On the Tuesday, he'll attend the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, where the 15 finalists for the awards will be unveiled.
His visit will see the prince attempt to secure US support for the awards, which will be held two months later in Singapore.

Prince William was forced to cancel his trip to the summit in New York last year following the death of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
Instead, the prince sent a video message in which he said protecting the environment was a cause close to the late monarch's heart.

Speakers at last year's event included actor Matt Damon and Caroline Kennedy, the US ambassador to Australia.
This year, Prince William will be joined by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is the current global adviser to the winners of the Earthshot Prize.

The finalists have been selected for their "trailblazing climate solutions" to repair our planet by 2030, Kensington Palace said.
The summit, held during New York Climate Week and the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly, will convene previous Earthshot Prize winners and finalists with policymakers, global business leaders, philanthropists and climate activists to scale their innovative solutions.

The previous two awards were held in Boston, in December 2022, and Alexandra Palace in London in 2021.

The Princess of Wales joined her husband for both past ceremonies and will likely be in Singapore for the third.
Singapore's proximity to Australia has also renewed hopes of a royal tour by the couple and even their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
In May, days before the coronation, Prince William told 9Honey his family would be travelling to Australia "very soon".
Their last visit to Australia was in 2014, when Prince George was just a baby.
The Earthshot Prize Awards were created by the Prince in 2020 and will award £50 million (approx. $95 million) in prizes over 10 years, to find solutions to repair and protect the planet.
