Prince William is reaching out to young environmentalists with an exciting new competition aimed at fostering climate change solutions.
In a recent twist, he appeared clean-shaven, a departure from his recent look.
Collaborating with Blue Peter
The Prince of Wales, 42, has partnered with the long-standing BBC children’s program Blue Peter to launch this innovative competition.
This initiative is designed to inspire young minds to address climate change with creative solutions.
A Shift in Style
Following his previous engagement where he showcased a stylish designer stubble at a homelessness exhibition, Prince William surprised fans by showing up without any facial hair.
His clean-shaven look was a stark contrast to the beard he sported during a clip congratulating Team GB for their Olympic successes.
Varied Appearances
Over the past few months, William has experimented with different looks, alternating between a clean-shaven appearance and a well-groomed stubble.
Although it’s uncertain when the Blue Peter promotional video was recorded, it’s likely that it was done before his latest appearance with his facial hair.
Details of the Competition
In the new Blue Peter clip, William outlines the Earthshot competition for children, aiming to encourage the next generation of inventors to develop sustainable solutions for our planet.
The competition opens today at 5 pm for UK residents aged 5 to 15 and will close on October 28th at the same time.
Prizes and Categories
The Earthshot competition features five categories: Fix Our Climate, Protect and Restore Nature, Clean Our Air, Revive Our Oceans, and Build a Waste-Free World.
Winners will receive a special award, a VIP filming experience with Blue Peter, a copy of the Earthshot book, and an exclusive competition winner’s badge.
They will also have the opportunity to be acknowledged by Prince William himself.
Background on Earthshot
Launched four years ago by William to tackle climate challenges, the Earthshot Prize has awarded £15 million in prize money and secured £50 million in support for 45 winners and finalists.
Last year, William emphasized the urgency of the “critical decade” ahead to improve the planet’s health.
Recent Engagements
In his first post-summer engagement, William visited the Homelessness: Reframed exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, London.
He reunited with Dave Martin, a Big Issue vendor he has supported.
The prince’s visit extended well beyond the planned half-hour as he engaged deeply with the exhibition’s message.
Addressing Homelessness
The Homewards program, launched in June 2023 by William and The Royal Foundation, aims to shift perceptions and combat homelessness in six key UK areas.
William’s recent visit underscored his commitment to this cause, reflecting his ongoing efforts to change public views on homelessness.
Shifting Looks
Fans noted William’s clean-shaven appearance at a service in Crathie Kirk near Balmoral, which led to speculation about his new look.
Despite this, he has embraced the clean-shaven style once again for his recent Blue Peter appearance, suggesting he remains a fan of his varied grooming choices.
