Prince William ought to get an award for the most photogenic royal, because he just delivered yet another striking portrait that, quite frankly, is one of my personal favorites.

I've seen solo portraits in the rain, stunning profiles and even fascinating optical illusions, but this newly unveiled black-and-white photo from his recent visit to Cape Town, South Africa, just might take the cake. In the close-up shot, the Prince of Wales dons a button-down shirt and blazer as he looks off into the distance, appearing to be deep in thought. From his concentrated gaze to that signature rugged beard, I couldn't help but pause to admire this gorgeous pic.

Fortunately for me, I stumbled upon another incredible black-and-white pic of the royal. Only this time, he's looking ahead and appears to be listening intently.

These striking images are just a few of several photos that were recently unveiled during the prince's trip to South Africa for the fourth annual Earthshot Prize Awards. He kicked off his four-day visit by meeting with 120 young people from the inaugural Earthshot Prize Climate Leaders Youth Program—and he marked the occasion with a group selfie. Also, he showed off his athletic skills at Ocean View Secondary School by joining a few students for a game of rugby.

While addressing the young environmentalists, he said in a statement, "All of you in this room are future changemakers, you’re the leaders, you’re the people going to make the difference going forward. It’s your platform. Use it as you need to, take it away, play with it, turn it into something different. Because we believe in you, and what you’re going to do is change the world, I really believe that."

On his official Instagram account, the royal posted a snap with the group and wrote, "Thank you for an incredible welcome in Cape Town, already feeling inspired after an afternoon at the first @EarthshotPrize Youth Leaders program!"

Keep the stunning portraits coming, Prince William.
