Prince William enjoyed the company of some of the world’s biggest stars as the five winners of the Earthshot Prize 2023 were announced in Singapore yesterday.
The royal, 41, perfectly co-ordinated with the ceremony’s host Hannah Waddingham, 49, – with William donning a sharp velour suit and dickie bow, while the Ted Lasso star wore a dazzling black ballgown with an emerald sash – as the pair strolled a green – not red – carpet for the 2023 Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony.
What ‘the 2023 Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony’ is all about
There was further glamour at the environmental prize, held at The Theatre at Mediacorp in Singapore, when Cate Blanchett, 54, looking elegant in a cream embroidered trouser suit, also posed for photos alongside the heir to the throne.
Stars from the world of showbiz and politics had jetted across the globe to attend the glitzy ceremony including US X-men star Lana Condor and former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
The celebrities that attended
Australian wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin’s son Robert Irwin was on stage presenting awards – with US star Sterling K. Brown acting as Ms Waddingham’s co-host.
There were music idols galore present too, with British band Bastille, US group OneRepublic and singer songwriter Freya Ridings attending the event at Prince William’s invitation.
Five recipient organisations – including a marine protection charity and a soil carbon intiative – from 15 shortlisted were awarded £1million each to continue working on solutions to the climate crisis.
The organisations scooping the prestigious prize this year were announced as Acción Andina, GRST, WildAid Marine Program, S4S Technologies, and Boomitra.
On the green carpet, home-grown star Hannah Waddingham, in a resplendent trailing ballgown, arguably stole the show as she sashayed down alongside Prince William.
