Prince William has received praise for his work on the Earthshot Prize as his former assistant revealed how involved he was in the project.
Jason Knauf, who worked with the Prince of Wales for many years and now runs the prize, said the prince was very active and full of energy and hope.
The Earthshot Prize, launched by William in 2020, awards £1 million to five winners who come up with ideas to help protect and repair the planet.
Talk with Good morning! ReviewKnauf said: “This decade is crucial. It is a window in which we still have time to act, and because Prince William believes it can be a great human achievement, he approaches it with urgency and optimism.”
William is currently in Brazil for five days of events leading up to this year’s awards ceremony. Knauf reveals that the future king is very determined to make a real difference.
“He calls, attends meetings and is always thinking about how he can create new opportunities for our finalists,” he revealed.
Knauf continued, “He loves supporting their leadership and ideas and really focuses on how we can all do more. He knows we need to do more.
“Because of the scientific requirements and what our finalists want to achieve, it is never satisfied until they get closer to their goals. Especially halfway through, it is clear that we need to make a big impact.”
