Camera Caught Prince William Thousands of Feet In the Sky

A little background: Sugarloaf Mountain sits on a peninsula at the mouth of Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro and its peak rests at about 1,300 feet high. So it’s no wonder the view looks this spectacular.

On social media, the Prince of Wales shared his own appreciation for the scenery, posting several photos and videos from the visit.

“The view of Rio from Sugarloaf is breathtaking,” one caption read. “A perfect first spot to visit here in Rio—it was great to meet with Mayor Paes and members of the public there today… and to receive the keys to the city too!”

“Honoured to receive the keys to the city at the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro ahead of an exciting few days for The Earthshot Prize and United for Wildlife,” he added.

View aside, Prince William also looked effortlessly dapper for his first day in the city, sporting his signature navy look with a twist, swapping in a sleek gray jacket.
