It was a rare outing for the royal pair

During the visit, the Prince inaugurated Project Ocean, the organisation's latest campaign, which aims to spread knowledge about fishing nets and other lost fishing equipment in the sea.

According to the organisation's website: "‘Project Ocean’ is The Perfect World Foundation’s overall project focusing on restoring our oceans.

"With campaigns such as The Blue Bucket which aims to engage everyone to help pick up plastic from our oceans, along coasts and on beaches, with the goal of spreading knowledge about the impact plastic waste has on our oceans."

"'Ghost Net Zero' is also one of the campaign's major focuses and locates, picks up, recycles and reuses lost fishing equipment, so-called "ghost nets."

Whilst at the event, Prince Albert was photographed releasing a rehabilitated duck who the organisation rescued after it had been eating plastic from the ocean.

Albert was also caught on camera as he planted a tree at the Gothenburg Botanical Garden next to where Sir David Attenborough planted the organisation's first tree, when he previously won the award in 2018.
