Kensington Palace Shares Eye-Catching Pics of Prince William—and Just Wait Until You See His Surprise Date

When it comes to Prince William, we are never short on good photos. Whether it was this week at the Royal Ascot, earlier this month visiting the Army Air Corps or those timeless black-and-white portraits that radiate pure royal energy, he's got the photogenic thing down. Still, who’s going to complain about one more? Definitely not me. And thankfully, Kensington Palace just delivered.

On Thursday, June 19, the Palace shared a new carousel of photos from William’s visit to Earthshot Prize finalist Colorifix. And let’s just say: the lead image is a whole moment. Prince William, in a lab coat, focused, listening, and surrounded by blurred-out beakers and lab gear. Total scroll-stopper.

But the eye candy doesn’t stop there. Because guess what? He wasn’t flying solo on this visit—and no, it wasn’t his wife Princess Catherine. The Prince of Wales was joined by none other than Australian actor and all-around icon Cate Blanchett.

If you're wondering what the connection is there, Cate is actually a council member for the Earthshot Prize, the environmental initiative Prince William founded to spotlight big, bold, world-saving ideas.
