Well done to Prince William in this documentary about the planet.

He comes across as a decent guy, down to earth, knowledgeable, interested and engaged when he meets people ..... and best of all, no preaching like H & M.

Has anyone else watched this?

I’m curious, why is it OK for William to be the champion of his causes, but when the Sussex is do it it’s hypocritical and virtue signaling?

Well, for me, Summerlove, it's the manner in which he did it, and the way he put it across. He didn't preach at an audience, but was filmed over a span of 2 years.

We should listen to the message not pick holes in the messenger.

Very well said

I see Prince William and David Attenborough have launched their 'Earthshot' initiative.

I wonder how long it took to get all the contributors on board?
Must have been quite a lot of work behind the scenes.

I hope it has the desired effect.
