Prince William opens Earthshot Prize Ceremony, says 'we can change our planet'

Prince William, 40-year-old Prince of Wales, opened the ceremony on Friday in Boston by introducing a little film to the MGM Music Hall at Fenway crowd, which also featured his wife Kate Middleton.

"Of the many wonders of the natural world that surround each of us every day, it is only from space that we can fully comprehend the gift that is our home," he says in the film, which takes him from the moon to the earth.

"Earth holds such splendour and gives us many things - beauty, curiosity, joy, and most importantly, Earth gives us life."

Prince then added: "For too long, many of us have taken for granted everything our planet gives us. The urgency needed to save the planet is ever-accelerating, while the time we have to make meaningful changes is ebbing away."

"But just as President John F. Kennedy had faith that humankind could put a man on the moon, I have the same faith today that we can repair and regenerate our planet in this critical decade. From Moonshot to Earthshot, the seemingly unsolvable can be solved."

"Together we can achieve a sustainable future for generations to come. Together, we will change the future of our planet," he said.
