Announcing the destination today, Prince William, 40, said: ‘The Earthshot Prize aims to show the world that solutions to some of the greatest environmental challenges we face do exist.

Last year’s ceremony took place in the United States in Boston, when guests arrived in hybrid vehicles and were encouraged to wear vintage, recycled or reusable clothing. Award-winning Kate wore a lime green Solace London dress rented from fashion platform Hurr and paired it with an emerald choker worn by Princess Diana.
William said Earthshot was inspired by John F Kennedy’s Moonshot program, which challenged America to put a man on the moon and helped launch the moon landing in 1969. The year’s winners latest included a British start-up, Notpla, which uses seaweed to make packaging.
