Prince William has said protecting the environment was a “cause close to my grandmother’s heart” as he delivered a pre-recorded speech at the environmental Earthshot prize summit.
Launched to coincide with celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th year on the throne—the long-awaited £18.9 billion link is much more than just a new railway line.
Following a year that saw intense divisions over Brexit, the queen urged the UK to come together in her Christmas message. Young climate activists and Germany's Angela Merkel also received prominent nods in her speech.
