Prince William Embraces Change, Focuses on Earthshot Prize

As of 2025-11-07T18:18:07+00:00, Prince William has been using his recent public appearances to shift the focus away from family drama and towards his Earthshot Prize environmental initiative. During an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour last month, the Prince of Wales was asked to expand on his previous comments about embracing "change" amid the recent upheaval in the royal family.

Rather than address the specific changes, such as his uncle Prince Andrew losing his titles or the ongoing tensions with his brother Prince Harry, William diplomatically pivoted the conversation to the Earthshot Prize. He described the project as "a classic example of change" and said he wants to "surround myself with people who want to make change and do good in the world."

Looking ahead, William expressed his desire to inspire his children with the positive impact of the Earthshot Prize. He told Amanpour that knowing "the planet's going to be in a healthier, better state because of the brilliant people in this room is something that I love to tell them when they go to bed."

The Prince's focus on the environmental initiative comes as both Andrew and Harry have continued to make headlines in recent weeks. While William was visiting Brazil, his uncle Andrew saw his royal titles officially stripped, and Harry announced a series of engagements in Canada related to Remembrance Day.
