KATE Middleton and Prince William could be heading to the US next year, as they announced the next Earthshot Prize Awards will be held there.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were the king and queen of green as they awarded the winners of a £50million planet saving prize earlier this month.
Speaking at a reception afterwards, William said: “We raised the bar — now over to the US.”
Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous that it would be a “logical step” for William and Kate to attend the ceremony across the pond in 2022 – where Meghan and Harry have set up their new life.
However, Phil added that any chance of a reconciliation between the two couples is unlikely.
He explained: “I don’t think William and Kate would want to meet up with Harry and Meghan, who could try and steal their thunder on the earth shot project.

“They are very much rivals now, not brothers in arms, and I’m afraid I can’t see a reconciliation soon.
“If Harry dropped his book project and admitted some of his and Meghan’s comments were over the top there might be some progress, but I can’t see it happening.
“William and Kate have always been very popular in the US but have not been there for some time so they will want to boost their profile and next year, during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year, would be a golden opportunity.”
Phil also said the chances of William and Kate staying in the Sussexes’ £11million Santa Barbara mansion are slim.
He added: “If they stayed with Harry it would turn into a circus and also be a security nightmare, taking attention away from the green cause, so I expect William and Kate to concentrate on their efforts and not meet up with them."
This year, William helped present the show alongside wife Kate, who dazzled in a dress Royal fans last saw at a Bafta event in 2011.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were joined by stars including Liverpool footballer Mo Salah, actress Emma Watson, and singer Ed Sheeran at the eco bash.
Guests had been told to “consider the environment when choosing their outfit” for the event.
Harry Potter actress Emma Watson, 31, wore a wedding dress made from ten frocks from Oxfam.
