Prince William has told George, Charlotte and Louis about his new 'Children's Earthshot' ahead of next month's Mumbai awards

Fifteen teams of children aged nine to 17 from across India will take part in a two-day programme at Mumbai's Museum of Solutions. Winners of the I CAN Earthshot Challenge will each receive a $2,000 grant at a ceremony on November 17. The scheme extended its reach to nearly a million pupils, spanning 15,000 schools in 24 states. William is also expected to meet Bollywood stars and play cricket during the trip.

The main Earthshot Prize ceremony will hand out £5 million in prize money.

Earthshot chief Jason Knauf said the young finalists are 'already building environmental solutions'.

One entry tackles oil and solid-waste pollution in India's Godavari River.

It will be William's first official trip to India since 2016.
