And has this trip been covered minute by breathless minute by the US media, even the Boston papers? Apparently not, according to the Fail. Why not?

American media say William and Kate's US visit is 'floundering' after a 'rocky start' on day two | Daily Mail Online

Probably angry that William signed all exclusives/tour with PBS (inside the building, close contact voice and video content)...you will be able to watch it all the 5th Dec online for free.  I will post the link as soon as it's avaiable.

He went grassroots! Incredible.

Why is PBS so good?
PBS is the Most Trusted Source for News and Public Affairs

When asked which networks they trust most when it comes to news and public affairs programming, respondents ranked PBS #1, ahead of the major broadcast and cable news networks.

What is PBS famous for?

PBS and our member stations are America's largest classroom, the nation's largest stage for the arts and a trusted window to the world. In addition, PBS's educational media helps prepare children for success in school and opens up the world to them in an age-appropriate way.

Yes, I?ve watched PBS docos on the Civil War. Excellent! And the viewing figures for PBS are?? That?s why they are always asking for donations to cover their worthy programmes  I suppose. And, while I?m asking, what were the BBC TV viewing figures for the Earthshot award ceremony in London? Got beaten by Love Island or something similar, didn?t it, on another channel.

IMO when I say it's William's choice, I don't want to place Kate as secondary to this decision BUT it is what it is, Earthshot is William's, so the entire tour is PBS inside. He went grassroots.

I think he will do the same next year, maybe Brazil (strong rumour, not rumour, BUT William opened Earthshot in Tik Tok and he said 'I would like to go to Brazil)  :wink: I'd love it, the Amazon is the most important to the entire planet!  :shake:

Yay, indigenous women rangers on the Great Barrier Reef won their category.
From ABC News Australia

The Queensland Indigenous Women Ranger Network, which manages and protects the Great Barrier Reef, has won 1 million pounds ($1.8 million) in the Prince of Wales's Earthshot Prize.

Key points:

The network combines 60,000 years of Indigenous knowledge with new technology for care of the Great Barrier Reef
It aims to encourage more Indigenous women to get into land and sea management
The program was among five winners in the environmental initiative set up by Prince William
Established in 2018, the network was designed to provide a forum for female rangers to share their experiences, ideas and information and has since trained more than 60 women.

Queensland Indigenous Women Ranger Network managing director Larissa Hale said the network came together because there weren't enough Indigenous women in land and sea management.

"[It] was created to show other women that we can do this," she said.

"It is not just for the men, it is for all of us."

The network combines 60,000 years of Indigenous knowledge with new technology in their work, using drones to gather data.

Using this data, the network educates people about coral bleaching and dieback and works with the government and reef organisations to implement coral sanctuaries and regrowth projects.

The ground-breaking program won the Earthshot Prize award for the Revive Our Oceans category and was chosen from more than 1,000 nominations.

^^ Well done to the lndigenous Women Ranger Network, moneys do help progress any/all innitiatives, and wishing them more and more help from other organizations too. 

The Great Barrier Reef to me is up there like the Amazon rainforest in South America.

The Great Barrier Reef  is home to a quarter of the ocean's marine life, generate clean air and protect vulnerable coastlines from erosion, flooding and storms.

Kudos to the ladies.

What a wonderful event last night. The stories of all the finalists were inspiring, capturing the ?stubborn optimism? that @EarthshotPrize founder Prince William had hoped to convey when he started the awards to promote the most innovative solutions to our environmental crisis 🌍
