Speaking about his aims at Earthshot Awards in Cape Town last year, William said: "It's more about impact, philanthropy, collaboration, convening, and helping people."
Times Magazine said of the royal couple: "Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are less concerned with cultural preservation and more attuned to social issues, tackling homelessness and rural mental health through their Royal Foundation and spotlighting innovative solutions to climate change through the Earthshot Prize, an environmental award founded by William in 2020."
It added: "Crucial to the Waleses' approach is aligning social imperatives with sound business strategies and building corporate alliances."
