Kensington Palace has shared video with an update as Princess Kate did not accompany Prince William to his big event, leaving fans asking, "where is Princess Catherine?"
The Prince of Wales celebrated real heroes without his steadfast Princess by his side,Β but he wasnβt alone as his cousins were standing proudly beside him.
The Prince and Princess of Walesβ official Instagram account released the video and images from the event with a touching message.
The Palace wrote: "Celebrating Africaβs conservation heroes at this yearβs Tusk Awards."
William, greeted by Charlie Mayhew at the event, was all smiles and in high spirits as he handed the Tusk Wildlife Ranger Award to Daniel Yiankere, who is the security manager at Loisaba Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya.
Just a day before William's appearance, the Princess of Wales was seen on a solo outing, witnessing first-hand the impact of her charity work.
The much-adored Princess of the royal family travelled to The Chase Community Hospital in Bordon, Hampshire on 11 November, where a project she has backed with The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood is being expanded to help identify more babies and families in need of support.
In another post on the couple's Instagram Story, the future monarch is seen with the winners.
Β The Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa went to Raabia Hawa, who is the founder and director of the Ulinzi Africa Foundation.
The charity helps to protect the Tana Delta-Lamu landscape, which shelters baby elephants and migratory birds. Despite threats against her own life, Raabia has played a central role in the impounding of the MC Roberto over illegal fishing allegations and helped the coastal topi recover from a population of just 33 to total around 300.
William is a patron of the charity, which aims to celebrate and support the unsung heroes of the conservation world.Β
The three award categories are the Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa, the Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa and the Tusk Wildlife Ranger Award.
