Prince William, Princess Kate holiday in Greece with family aboard Emirati Royal's $450 million superyacht
According to Greek media reports, the royal family is cruising around the Ionian Sea aboard a $450 million superyacht belonging to a member of the Emirati royal family.
Local news outlet Enikos reported that Prince William, Kate, and their family arrived in Greece shortly after their last public appearance at Wimbledon on July 12. Travelling by private jet, they landed at Kefalonia airport and were swiftly transported in a luxury van to the yacht, where they boarded discreetly.
The vessel, identified as the Opera, was spotted docked at the Ionian island of Kefalonia. The yacht is owned by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a prominent member of the UAE royal family. He is the ninth son of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the United Arab Emirates, and currently serves as one of the UAE's four deputy prime ministers.
Built by the renowned German shipyard Lürssen, Opera is a 146-metre mega yacht delivered in February 2023. The superyacht boasts ultra-luxury features, including two helipads, a large swimming pool, a state-of-the-art gym, and a beach club. Its size and amenities place it among the most opulent private vessels in the world.
While the British royals have remained tight-lipped about the trip, images of the yacht in port and tracking data from luxury vessel monitoring sites have confirmed their presence in the region.

Bonn to Belém: A turning point in global climate diplomacy
When most people think of international climate summits, they picture the high stakes drama of the annual COP gatherings presidents shaking hands, midnight negotiations, and last-minute breakthroughs. But far from the headlines, in the quiet German city of Bonn, another kind of diplomacy was quietly but powerfully unfolding. Climate crisis (Shutterstock) From June 16-26, 2025, negotiators, activists, scientists and observers gathered for SB 62 the 62nd sessions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Subsidiary Bodies (SBSTA and SBI). Being held amid challenging geopolitical circumstances, SB 62 was viewed as a pivotal opportunity to restore trust, especially on adaptation identified as a top priority. While it lacked the glitz of COP 29 in Baku or the anticipation surrounding COP 30 in Belém, SB 62 served as a bridge for technical dialogue to shape political ambition. Adaptation: The long elusive Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) finally started to take shape. For years, adaptation was the neglected sibling of mitigation hard to define, harder to quantify. But SB 62 began to change that. From an astonishing 9,000 proposed indicators, experts managed to narrow the list to 490, with hopes of finalising 100 key indicators by COP 30. These metrics spanned critical areas: Water security, public health, resilient infrastructure and crucially with the enabling conditions such as finance, technology, and capacity building. Developing countries, especially from the Global South, made a strong push for Means of Implementation (MoI) indicators to ensure that adaptation isn't just measured by impacts, but also by access to funds, to knowledge and to systems that leave no one behind. The result was a hard-earned compromise, but one that finally acknowledges that adaptation is not charity but its climate justice. Meanwhile, the Adaptation Fund came under the microscope, with growing support to align it solely with the Paris Agreement. While decisions were deferred to COP 30, the direction of travel was clear that a reform is coming and with it, a call for predictability and access. Climate finance: Despite its technical label, SB 62 wasn't short on drama especially when it came to climate finance. The much-discussed Baku-to-Belém roadmap, which envisions mobilising $1.3 trillion annually by 2035, was at the centre stage. Yet the optimism was quickly tempered by concerns over the growing reliance on private finance, vague definitions of climate-aligned investments, and the chronic absence of grant based public funding especially for adaptation and loss and damage. Finance disagreements were so intense, they delayed the opening of SB 62. For many developing countries, the message was blunt: without clear obligations and accountability, the climate finance promise risks becoming just another broken one. Amidst the gridlock, India's draft Climate Finance Taxonomy emerged as a quiet breakthrough. Designed to curb greenwashing and guide both public and private investments toward genuine climate solutions, it's a tool many are now watching closely. Transparency: If climate action is to be credible, it must be measurable. SB 62 saw a critical review of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement. New reporting templates and digital platforms were launched to simplify submissions and ensure consistency. For many Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), however, the challenge is still about resources and capacity. To address this, SB 62 emphasised capacity-building and regional peer exchanges to support reporting. ETF isn't just about numbers, it's the backbone of the Global Stocktake, and a key driver of ambition. As countries prepare their NDCs 3.0, transparent reporting will determine whether the world believes the promises made. Inclusion in action: One of SB 62nd more hopeful notes came from the margins where energy often turns into action. Negotiations on a new Gender Action Plan (GAP) were launched, grounded in a collaborative workshop that brought together governments, youth leaders, and civil society. Though warmly welcomed, some questioned Brazil's omission of gender equity from its COP 30 agenda raising concerns about long-term political will. Meanwhile, youth presence was electric. Through initiatives like the Bonn Climate Camp and the Bed Exchange Programme, young activists turned Bonn into a hub of climate creativity. Their demand was clear: We don't want token seats, we want real influence. Bonn dialogues: Beyond the negotiation halls, the Bonn Dialogues captured the spirit of multilevel climate action. From city mayors to tribal leaders, startups to slum communities, the dialogues illustrated one truth: Top-down policymaking can't solve everything. Climate action must be co-created, not dictated. The sessions reflected a shift from pledges to implementation, from centralised decision-making to distributed leadership.

The sessions reflected a shift from pledges to implementation, from centralised decision-making to distributed leadership. Process reform: As the days ticked by, many began reflecting on the UNFCCC process itself. With over 50 agenda items and dozens of overlapping events, the machinery showed signs of strain. The proposals ranged from capping delegation sizes to sunsetting outdated negotiation tracks. Some floated the radical idea of majority-based decision making a sharp departure from the consensus model that, while inclusive, often leads to paralysis. In response, Brazil unveiled its Action Agenda for COP 30 a 30-point plan to streamline talks and focus on delivery. It was bold, but also symbolic. As observers noted, 'Efficiency is needed but not at the cost of inclusion.' The road to Belém: SB 62 didn't make headlines, but it quietly clarified the stakes. It was a reminder that the hardest work often happens away from the cameras, and that the path to climate justice is paved with both policy and persistence. The road to COP 30 in Belém is now shaped by urgent questions about finance, accountability, and equity. Whether it's finalising adaptation metrics or reforming climate finance, the world expects more than debate, it demands delivery. In his closing address, Simon Stiell, executive secretary of the UNFCCC said, 'We need to go further, faster, and fairer.'

Ergo to Invest €130 Million in GenAI, Leans on India for Global Tech Push
Mumbai: German insurer Ergo will invest over €130 million over the next five years to build its generative AI (GenAI) infrastructure, with its India operations playing a key role in the group's global technology transformation. The investment will fund the development of core AI capabilities across markets and support the company's ambition to become the leading digital insurer in its core geographies by 2025. 'This is purely a technology investment—building the infrastructure for GenAI. It does not include operating costs or manpower,' said Mark Klein, Chief Digital Officer of Ergo Group. 'We are in the process of scaling AI across all key processes in multiple countries. The time for pilots is over. These systems now have to deliver measurable business value.' Klein added that Ergo has already deployed over 110 AI algorithms across business functions, and is focused on expanding these use cases across seven European markets. 'Scaling is essential. AI doesn't come cheap. If you don't reuse assets and deploy solutions across markets, you will never arrive at a sustainable business case,' he said. India has emerged as a crucial hub for the group's technology operations. Ergo's technology services arm in Mumbai, which employs over 600 professionals, acts as a global capability center for the group. 'We are coming more into a global delivery model, and India offers a clear opportunity,' Klein said. 'India is becoming more and more important for us, not just as a growing market, but as a source of young, tech-savvy talent. The infrastructure here, including the Indian Stack, enables us to implement digital innovations faster than in Europe.' Klein credited HDFC ERGO, Ergo's Indian joint venture, with pioneering several of the group's technology initiatives. 'In 2016, India was the first to implement a robot in our group. I took that back and by 2017 we had deployed robots across our operations. Today, we run over 500 bots globally,' he said. 'We have a Champions League across our markets based on KPIs like digital sales and process automation. India consistently ranks in the top two. ' Parthanil Ghosh, Director at HDFC ERGO, said the company is not only adopting global tech but also driving innovation within the group. 'We have completely overhauled our core systems using Duck Creek, a low-code, modular platform. It allows us to launch new products faster and meet regulatory requirements more efficiently,' he said. Ghosh added that HDFC ERGO has put generative AI into production for several use cases, including underwriting assistance and SME quote generation. 'We built a platform called HEIQ, which takes unstructured data from brokers and generates quotes in under three minutes. This is a live solution, not a proof-of-concept,' he said. The company has also partnered with IIT Bombay to build secure small language models (SLMs) tailored to its business. 'We can't risk exposing our customer data to public models. So we built proprietary SLMs over foundational models like ChatGPT or Gemini in a fully secure environment,' Ghosh said. Klein said these innovations are being closely watched by the group. 'We regularly benchmark our markets, and HDFC ERGO's implementation of core system upgrades and GenAI is being tracked across the group. What they are doing is not just best practice for India—it's becoming best practice for Ergo globally.' Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
