William Makes Surprise Appearance on Graham Norton for Earthshot Prize Countdown
William discusses Earthshot’s climate mission and global coalition of innovators as the prize counts down to its November awards.
Prince William made a surprise appearance on a special Earthshot Prize edition of The Graham Norton Show on Thursday, becoming the first royal to sit on the famous sofa.
William founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020, inspired by President John F. Kennedy's Moonshot project, to replace 'negativity and doom' with optimism and unite global innovators tackling environmental challenges.
Cate Blanchett, Robert Irwin, and Hannah Waddingham discussed their roles with the Prize, with Blanchett describing it as a 'tapestry of solutions' and emphasizing support for innovators.
Mumbai will stage the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony next month, distributing £5 million in prize money to innovators working to capture 18 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Beyond environmental work, William revealed his love for Christopher Nolan's films, saying 'I love getting immersed in deep-thinking films,' and shared that the family enjoys Celebrity Traitors.
