Now, speaking of William's initiative, the project’s chief executive and his close aide, Jason Knauf, said that the future King was showcasing "the sort of leader he wants to be" with The Earthshot Prize.

In conversation with Sky News, he said, "The sort of leader that Prince William wants to be, both now and in the future. (William) does care deeply about tradition, about his family's legacy of service."

Jason shared that William is continuing the tradition of the royal family, which "recognising the work of others" by putting a "modern twist" on it.

Similarly, King Charles has also been working on a number of projects raising issues related to drastic climate changes.
