Prince William lauded as extraordinary climate leader by Cate Blanchett
Actress Cate Blanchett praised Prince William as an “extraordinary leader” in the fight against climate change, describing his approach as “hands‑on, consistent and practically engaged.” Blanchett, who served with William on the Earthshot Prize Council – a panel he founded to seek technological solutions to the climate crisis – said the prince inherited his environmental interest from his father, King Charles. The two have toured laboratories, including a visit to UK‑based Colorifix, to explore sustainable fabric dyes, and William has publicly warned that recent wildfires across Europe underscore the urgency of climate action. Blanchett also highlighted her own work co‑founding RSL Media, a not‑for‑profit register that lets creatives control the use of their work by AI companies.
