Prince William made a significant appearance just hours before the highly-anticipated interview with the Duchess of Sussex on The Ellen Show was set to air in the US.
Meghan Markle‘s surprise TV appearance came as a shock to many, as it was long rumored that her first interview post-emigration would be with Ellen DeGeneres, but ultimately, she and Prince Harry chose Oprah Winfrey as their first host.
The clip from the upcoming interview has sparked concerns within Buckingham Palace that Meghan might launch another critique against the royal family, whom the Sussexes have previously accused of racism and neglect towards them.
In the absence of the Queen, Prince William, a father-of-three, has been actively fulfilling royal duties, maintaining a busy schedule.
During his visit to the Microsoft headquarters in Reading, the Duke of Cambridge, 39, engaged with new AI scanning technology designed to enhance the detection of illegal wildlife products trafficked through international airports.
His demeanor exuded positivity and enthusiasm as he interacted with staff members at the Microsoft UK headquarters, donned in a stylish navy jacket and baby blue shirt.
The timing of Prince William’s visit coincided with Meghan Markle’s unexpected appearance on The Ellen Show, leading to speculations that she might reveal more revelations about the royal family.
While at Microsoft, the Duke attentively examined an elephant tusk and discussed the innovative AI research project, Seeker, which demonstrated its capabilities in identifying illicit wildlife items concealed in baggage and cargo during a recent trial at London Heathrow.
This technology aligns with the efforts of United for Wildlife, an organization founded by William and the Royal Foundation in 2014 to combat the illegal wildlife trade.
The illegal wildlife trade remains a pressing global issue, orchestrated by sophisticated criminal networks.
Prince William’s engagement with the Seeker project showcased its success rate of over 70% in detecting ivory products, underscoring its potential to be integrated into existing airport screening infrastructure to combat wildlife trafficking effectively.
Additionally, the Duke’s discussions with rangers at the Southern Africa Wildlife College shed light on the dire situation of poaching, particularly concerning the alarming rate of rhino poaching in the region.
United for Wildlife’s mission extends beyond wildlife protection, aiming to safeguard endangered species and their habitats from the perils of illegal wildlife trade.
The Earthshot Prize, a visionary initiative launched by Prince William last year, seeks to identify innovative solutions for environmental restoration over the next decade.
During the prize ceremony, William passionately urged individuals, especially the youth, not to succumb to despair but to be inspired, take action, and demand solutions to address the planet’s pressing challenges.
As Prince William’s visit to Microsoft highlighted advancements in wildlife conservation technology, Meghan Markle’s forthcoming interview with Ellen DeGeneres promises to provide insights into her acting career and life experiences before and after joining the royal family.
The interview, scheduled to air on CBS in the US, marks Meghan’s second major television appearance following her and Prince Harry’s impactful interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year.
Ellen DeGeneres shared the exciting news with her audience, setting the stage for Meghan’s candid revelations to captivate viewers when the show airs at 3 p.m.
ET on CBS.
