Prince William leaves Andrew scandal behind as he arrives in Rio de Janeiro
The Prince of Wales arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Monday on a five-day visit to host his Earthshot Prize and attend the COP30 UN climate change summit.
The trip could be a welcome escape for Prince William, who has been in a turbulent time for the royal family as they deal with the ongoing scandal surrounding Andrew’s relationship with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
His visit clashes with the Duke of Sussex’s visit to Toronto this week, where he will meet with veterans, members of the armed forces community and military charities ahead of Remembrance Day.

Did Donald Trump and Andrew know each other?
Donald Trump said he feels “badly” for the royal family amid the controversy over Andrew’s relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump, who has also faced pressure over his relationship with Epstein, told reporters on Sunday: “It’s a terrible thing that has happened to the (royal) family.”
In 2019, when asked about the sexual abuse allegations against Andrew, the President denied knowing him, despite having met on several occasions, including during Trump’s state visit to Britain that year.
Mr Trump said: “I don’t know Prince Andrew, but it’s a hard story, it’s a very hard story.”
A February 2000 photo depicts Trump, his wife, Melania, and Andrew together at their Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Trump’s comments on Sunday came as members of a US congressional committee stepped up demands on Andrews to answer questions over his friendship with Epstein.

Where will Andrew live on the Sandringham Estate?
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is set to vacate the 30-room Royal Lodge and take a property on the 8,000-hectare Sandringham estate.
Their move will be privately funded by King Charles and will take place “as quickly as possible”.
York Cottage, which has previously been used as holiday accommodation or accommodation for estate staff, is a possible contender for Andrew’s new home.
The property was earmarked for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex prior to their departure from royal life.
Andrew’s move to Sandringham could give him a place at Park House, where the late Princess Diana was born.
Park House was leased by the late Queen in 1987 to the charity Leonard Cheshire, which ran it as a hotel for disabled people.
He can also visit the Gardens House, the residence where the estate’s head gardener once lived.
