On October 13, 2021, Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton traveled to London Heathlands School for the event Generation Earthshot. Designed to encourage children to “generate bold ideas to fix the planet“, Earthshot is a project imagined by the prince which aims to reward each year five laureates who have proposed revolutionary solutions for the environment and against global warming.
A little too flashy
Very fitting with this ecological event, the Duchess chose to recycle a green coat of the brand Erdem that she had already worn in 2014 during an official release in New Zealand. At the time, moreover, Prince William had confided that he was not a fan of this outfit. “I complimented her on her green coat. She said she adored him but Prince William thought he was a little too flashy. “a source told the magazine. People. What does it matter for Kate who thus proves that she does not care about William’s opinion about her wardrobe.
At this meeting, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wanted to use toys representing superheroes to discuss the climate with the children. Kate, for example, was very enthusiastic about Jane Storm, the invisible woman, saying: “Maybe she could create an invisible bubble that no one can see to protect the planet so that no one can chop down trees?“
Asked during the event, William – who recently lashed out at Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk – said he was particularly proud of the children’s creativity and thoughtfulness. “They were asked to come up with some really crazy ideas, to think outside the box. But in fact, some of the things they said have already been worked on by scientists, which just shows how brilliant they are and are thinking on the right track.“he confided.
As a reminder, the award ceremony Earthshot is being held on October 17 and will be broadcast worldwide by the BBC. The five winners will each receive a prize from the Royal Foundation as well as £ 1million to further develop their project.
