Princess Kate "would love to be in South Africa", according to Prince William, as the royal shared a heartwarming update.
William, 42, rubbed shoulders with Heidi Klum, Winnie Harlow and Billie Porter as he told the crowd: "I love Cape Town, I've had the most amazing week here, I've really enjoyed it. I don't want to go!"
He added: "My children would love to be here, so would Catherine."
Earlier in the day, William received a jar of jam, months after Meghan Markle began gifting her friends with the same item.

William gratefully accepted the jar of sour fig jam while meeting fishermen in Kalk Bay Harbour, Cape Town, the morning after his Earthshot Awards ceremony.
The Prince of Wales may have reminded fans about the Duchess of Sussex's American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand.
William said he woke up feeling "emotional" the day after the Earthshot awards ceremony and "excited" about how well it had gone.
Joining presenters Heidi Klum, Winnie Harlow, Billy Porter and Tobe Nwigwe for a traditional South African Braai at Kalk Bay in Cape Town, William told them: "I really appreciate all your support," to which Harlow replied: "It was an honour."

William said: "I woke up this morning feeling quite emotional and excited."
Klum, who presented one of the Earthshot awards the night before, added: "I was emotional on the stage."
William had travelled by boat to the fishing village of Kalk Bay on the final day of his four-day visit to Cape Town to see the work of Abalobi, a 2023 Earthshot prize finalist who works with local fishermen.
He was met with shouts of "We love you, William," and met Abalobi co-founder Serge Raemaekers who introduced the royal to local fishermen.

William held a yellow-tailed fish and told the fishermen: "You're the trailblazers. You're the leaders."
He then walked back down the harbour wall to see several Abalobi staff who were barbecuing fish for William to try.
At one point, locals swimming in the bay shouted up, "Hello Prince William," and he waved back to them.
