Royal tour LIVE: Prince William gears up in rescue vest on action-packed last day of visit | Royal | News

The Prince of Wales is out for a packed day of engagements today as his tour of South Africa draws to a close.

Prince William visited Simon’s Town Harbour to meet with volunteers of the National Seas Rescue Institute and hear about their lifesaving work. NSRI is a volunteer organisation that saves lives on South African waters through rescue services and drowning prevention. He sported a casual outfit of navy blue trousers, a light shirt and a navy blue jacket, which he paired with his brown trainers. Later, the prince was snapped in a rescue vest and a pair of sunglasses as he boarded the NSRI Lifeboat “Donna Nicholas”.

He will then be the special guest at a Cape Town braai, or barbecue, and join members of a local fishing community working in and around Kalk Bay Harbour as they have a fish lunch.

The future king’s visit will highlight the contributions of 2023 Earthshot Prize finalist Abalobi, founded in South Africa to protect small-scale fishing communities and nurture their ocean stewardship while educating their customers about the origins of their seafood.

He will end his four-day visit to South Africa by meeting seaweed businesses from the region to celebrate local innovation, learn about the diverse applications of seaweed in Africa and the potential for it to repair and regenerate the planet.
