The Prince of Wales has arrived on the green carpet at the Theatre at Mediacorp, Singapore, for the third annual Earthshot Prize ceremony.

William was met with cheers from crowds as he arrived at the event, which is aimed at recognising solutions to “repair” the planet.

The prince held his first Earthshot Prize awards ceremony at London’s Alexandra Palace in 2021, with Boston hosting the event last year – an ambitious project which each year presents five category winners with £1 million each to scale up their environmental ideas.

Robert Irwin, son of the late Australian wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin, joined a host of stars including Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, producer Donnie Yen and actors Lana Condor and Nomzamo Mbatha announcing the winners at the ceremony.

Hosting the event will be Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, who performed similar duties when Liverpool staged the Eurovision Song Contest earlier this year, and Emmy Award-winning actor and producer Sterling K Brown.

Performers will include Bebe Rexha, Bastille and OneRepublic, and Earthshot Prize Council member Sir David Attenborough will make a video appearance during the broadcast.
