Parenthood: it gives you all those warm and fuzzy feels, doesn’t it? Well, that’s what Prince William must think to himself pretty often as he recently revealed that his three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – were his motivation behind launching the Earthshot Prize. The Duke of Cambridge’s brainchild initiative is to help find solutions to the planet’s environmental issues. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince William Says His Children Motivated Him To Launch Earthshot Prize
The Earthshot Prize, which was founded by the Duke in 2020, aims to discover and reward the best solutions to help repair the planet over the next 10 years. This year’s finalists will be announced in July and the five winners will then be selected by the Earthshot Prize Council which includes Prince William himself along with Sir David Attenborough, chart topper Shakira and Hollywood actress Cate Blanchett. Queen Rania of Jordan will also be on hand.
Jason Knauf, Chief Executive of The Royal Foundation, said: “The challenge the duke set himself was ‘What is the maximum positive personal contribution I can make in the next 10 years in the fight against climate change? What am I going to do in the next decade that means I can look my children in the eye and say that I did my bit?’ Every aspect of the prize bears the stamp of his contribution.”
The event will be held at Alexandra Palace on October 17th and will feature iconic landmarks from across the capital when it is broadcast on BBC One and around the world. Kensington Palace said that in the coming months they will announce the world-leading artists set to perform on the night to help celebrate the 15 finalists and the five winners who will each be awarded $1.39 million dollars.
