Prince William appoints a new Director to the Earthshot Prize — 

Ric Lewis, 61, runs 'the only black-owned private equity fund in London'. He is one of Britain's most prominent black achievers and was ranked first, in 2019, in the Powerlist, an annual list of the country's influential people with African or Afro-Caribbean heritage.

Lewis, who founded Tristan Capital Partners, commented in 2019 on the fact that he wasn't invited to join boards of companies, unlike his white contemporaries. He said: 'I have been a CEO on two continents, I have started three companies, I have run billions of capital — £12 billion here and £20 billion in my last company, all started from scratch, and I don't get calls for boards here.'>  credit Richard Eden

Prince William has a go at making eco-friendly concrete blocks during a visit to Low Carbon Materials in Seaham, County Durham. As President of The Earthshot Prize, the Prince was shown how the company creates innovative, low-carbon construction material, and the work that the company has done since becoming a Earthshot Prize Finalist in 2022.

The Prince of Wales delivers speech in honour of the Late Steve Irwin


Curryong

Yeah, A POWERFUL speech apparently honouring Steve Irwin, who is regarded as a bit of an idiot in Australia for going too near a stingray in the ocean in spite of warnings about stingray darts? And plenty of occasions in his TV series in which he lifted snakes up in the bush by their tails, creatures who were just minding their own business, and similarly riling up crocs in the Northern Territory which were just sunning on riverbanks, to make good TV for the US viewers.

Yes, Irwin was a real wildlife warrior all right! Lol.

Entrepreneurs gathered at Cardiff Metropolitan University alongside Prince William to discuss investment in the sector and display products based on what Derek Walker, Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, dubbed the super-power of seaweed. The prince chatted to Pierre Paslier, co-founder and co-chief executive officer of Notpla, which supplies seaweed packaging to major sporting and music venues across the country.

Princess Beatrice participated in a roundtable discussion alongside three Earthshot Prize finalists.
