Prince William confronted by protesters, forced to flee event through back door

Prince William faced anti-monarchy protesters during his visit to South Africa, with some shouting at him to go home. The Prince had to make a quick exit through a back door to avoid the rowdy demonstrators. Despite the criticism, he received a mostly positive reception during his four-day trip focused on environmental initiatives. Princess Kate stayed home with their children while William attended events leading up to the Earthshot Prize Awards 2024. Some protesters expressed frustration that the Prince had not visited South Africa’s townships to see the suffering firsthand. Overall, the Prince’s visit was met with a mix of support and opposition.
