In Kazakhstan lives an antelope that wouldn’t look out of place on the set of Star Wars. Saiga and their gloriously wibbly noses are one of the planet’s most remarkable species, but poaching and mass die off events saw their numbers crash. In 2024, however, the Earthshot Prize awarded an ecosystem restoration effort that’s enabled the saiga antelope population to recover from 40,000 to 2.8 million in the last 20 years.

The Earthshot Prize is an environmental challenge that catalyzes urgent optimism & action by discovering, accelerating, awarding, spotlighting & scaling solutions to repair & regenerate the planet. The summit will convene business leaders, philanthropists, investors and government leaders alongside Earthshot Prize Finalists and Winners to strengthen the power of the global Earthshot community.

Sophie talked about her production Salt of the Earth that premiered recently in Venice, "an act of story-telling created through deep collaboration with scientists, activists and local initiatives" that "shone a light on an overlooked and disregarded but vital ecosystem: salt marshes."

Benedict talked about supporting Green Rider, a campaign and grassroots union network of creatives campaigning for a fairer, more sustainable, eco-friendly film industry. Green Rider is developing strong examples of how cast can supercharge climate action through the industry and create a blueprint that others can easily follow.

“It’s so embarassing that Heidi Klum admitted at the Earthshot Awards that she’d never even heard of it until William’s staff approached her. I wonder if she and the other celebs were paid a fee to appear? Seems this initiative is less about credibly advancing climate solutions and more about PR and celeb associations to boost William’s ego.” - Submitted by Anonymous

"You were by my side"

9th November 2024.

“Enough” Catherine giggled as she finally ‘escaped’ from her husband's arms “We must get ready now or we'll be late, Mr. Wales”.

William grinned as he watched her wearing her shirt in a rush, saying “I wouldn't mind”.

As she closed the bathroom door and looked at her reflection in the mirror, the princess blushed like a teenage girl. Since her husband's return from South Africa where he attended Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony, they were lost in their own world, thankful that their children were at school most of the time.

As she checked her phone, she saw a text message from her stylist sent 30 minutes earlier “Where are you, Catherine? It's time to choose your dress”.

She sighed and called her husband “I am already late” she said, showing him a text message but William chuckled “I am sure that Natalie will understand everything”. Catherine rolled her eyes and brushed her hair a little before going to the dressing room.

~

“I am sorry, Natalie. I didn't see your message earlier” She said and felt embarrassed but Natalie nodded as she said “It's alright. We still have some time left”

“Yes.. So I obviously need a black outfit” Catherine took a sip of water and smiled before looking through her clothes “What about a coat dress? I haven't worn one in so long, right?”

“Yes, that's true” Natalie nodded “You always look beautiful in them”

“William says the same thing. It is a shame that he did not listen to my advices when it came to his Earthshot ceremony outfit though”

Natalie chuckled a little “Did you scold him?”

“I.. I wanted to, a couple of times actually but.. but he stopped me” Catherine tried not to blush as she remembered.

~~

7th November 2024. The prince of Wales was on his way home, smiling at the thought of seeing his wife and children again.

As soon as he entered the house, he expected Catherine to run towards him and her kiss but none of that happened. Instead, she stood in front of him with her phone and a picture of his Earthshot Prize ceremony outfit on the screen. “What was that?” she asked and rolled her eyes a little “I thought you already had even a small sense of fashion style in yourself, but it seems..”

“That is how you greet your husband after he was away on another continent for three days, Mrs. Wales?” William teased her as he put his luggage on the floor.

“This is what you deserve for..” she tried to say but William approached her, took her phone away from her and lifted her up in his arms. Catherine rolled her eyes playfully and asked “Don’t you have a gift for me? I’ve seen pictures and you were looking through some earrings, weren’t you?”

“I’ve got a gift for you but it is hidden inside the luggage, so maybe let us start with a kiss first?” he smirked

“First, you need to take shower” Catherine said “And one kiss won’t solve anything”

“Who told you it’ll be just one kiss?” William raised his eyebrows and pressed his lips on hers as he walked towards the bathroom.

~~

9th November 2024.

“Shall I try on these coats finally?” The princess of Wales cleared her throat. Her final choice was one of those designed by Catherine Walker.

“What about your hair?” Natalie asked

“Natural” Kate smiled a little “But pulled to one of the sides perhaps. As for makeup..” she seemed lost in thoughts for a moment

“Yes? What's your idea?”

“I thought about something similar to my 2011-2012 style, but I am not certain that it's a good choice”

“A perfect one I'd say” Natalie smiled “Do I need to help you? I think you're best at it”

“I’ll do that myself but you can stay here, that way we'll have more time for a conversation”.

They continued to talk for at least twenty minutes, and soon William waited for his wife in the corner of the dressing room.

Kate discreetly chuckled when she finally noticed him, thanked Natalie for help, and then approached her husband.

“You were supposed to wait outside, not listen to my conversations, Mr. Wales”

“I wasn't listening. You finished it a minute ago and then I came here”

“But until you entered the room you were listening indeed, right?” She teased him

“Maybe a little bit. Your last words were something about George's school, yes?”

“Yes, but earlier there was also something that Nat reminded me of”

“What is it?’ William asked and looked at his wife's black dress

“I still had no time to scold you for that Earthshot outfit” she replied

“Why do I need to be scolded?” He asked and approached her “I thought it was decent and, in case you had to say anything else, my gift erased the problem”

“Seaweed earrings were perfect, but not enough to make me forget about that outfit”

William sighed, pretended to feel annoyed “You are rude sometimes, you know?”

Catherine chuckled and was then fixing her hair yet. After a few seconds of looking at her husband, she said “Now that I think about it, it’s actually good”

“What do you mean? It's good that I refused to listen to my wife?”

The princess nodded as their eyes met “This time, yes. At least you felt comfortable in that style and most importantly, the other women at the ceremony were not obsessed with you”

“Yes, though it seemed to me they were making fun of my trainers” William chuckled

“There's a rule from now, Mr. Wales” his wife teased again “You can wear whatever you want for those ‘glamorous’ outings without me, even the most casual clothes. However, when I join you, for example at the 2025 Earthshot Awards ceremony, you need to be the best version of yourself” she smirked and blinked flirtatiously before heading towards the car. She looked back and saw that her husband was observing her from a distance.

“Are you going or not, Mr. Wales?” she asked, smiling innocently.

~~

On the way to the Royal Albert Hall, they were not talking at all but it was not an uncomfortable silence. As they were standing at the entrance, William's hand was on his wife's back almost all the time. At one point, the princess’ emotions were visible as she was holding back her tears. After it ended and she and William left the building, Catherine whispered “I thought I will never be able to be here again but it's happening and I.. I guess I just feel overwhelmed now” she murmured.

William kissed her on the hair and told the driver to take them home.

~

As Catherine settled in her pyjamas and sat down on the bed, her husband brought her a cup of tea. She smiled a little and said “I made you feel worried, didn't I? We had such a perfect two days and then there I was: almost crying, reminiscing about my illness, the possibility of me dying and--..”

“Hsshh..” William interrupted as he sat down beside her “Don't say anything about it again. It is over now and you're going to be fine”.

Catherine closed her eyes as she whispered “Thank you for helping me, my William”

He looked at her face and sighed “How did I help? I wish I could do more for you”

“You were by my side, which was everything. I mean it with all my heart. It truly was everything, and still is” Catherine whispered, her eyes tearful once more but she hid it by closing her eyes and began to drink tea. William was speechless for a moment, then he gently squeezed her hand and wanted to say something but Catherine pressed her lips on his and he deepened that kiss. It wasn't one of passionate kisses which they often shared for the last two days, but instead one full of pure love.

“Aren't you going to argue about my Earthshot outfit anymore?” William teased his wife after a few moments

“No, at least not tonight” Catherine tried not to giggle before kissing him on the lips again.
