Prince William recently capped a three-day visit to Boston, the United States, by meeting with President Joe Biden to share his vision for safeguarding the environment before attending a gala event on the evening of Dec 2, where he sounded an optimistic tone about solving the world’s environmental problems through "hope, optimism and urgency”.

The Prince of Wales paid homage to the late President John F. Kennedy, saying his Earthshot Prize was inspired by Kennedy’s audacious moonshot speech in 1962 that mobilised the nation to put astronauts on the moon.
