At the heart of the discussion was William’s ambition to change the way people talk about the climate crisis.

“For many years I was hearing stories about environment issues and one thing that struck me was the negativity and doom which got me down,” he explained.

“I thought we could do something more powerful and more optimistic.”

He said that the idea for Earthshot Prize grew from a desire to bring “urgency and optimism together.”

William also revealed that he and his children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are obsessed with The Celebrity Traitors.
