Prince William sips cider and enjoys a game of darts with actress Hannah Waddingham
PRINCE William enjoys a double top day — supping cider and playing darts.
But the Prince of Wales struggled to hit the bullseye in his game of arrows with actress Hannah Waddingham.
Wills features in a documentary hosted by Ted Lasso star Hannah about his Earthshot eco prize.
They were filmed at Alexandra Palace in North London, venue for the first presentation of Wills’ environmental initiative in 2021.
Ally Pally also hosts the Paddy Power World Darts Championship, which kicks off today.
William, 42, and Hannah, 50, laughed as they both struggled to hit the dartboard in their match.
Spotting a roll of honour of world champions, William says: “I think we are probably no threat to anybody on this board.”
And Hannah jokes: “I’m feeling equal joy and terror about playing darts with the future King of England.”
The Earthshot Report is on BBC1 at 5pm today and features chats with previous finalists.
Each year, five get £1million towards their innovation to repair the plant.
William stresses the value of getting into nature.
He says in the programme: “It’s very hard for someone to understand what’s the point of protecting the planet if you never use it.
“It’s really important that we get people out into nature because then they’ll value it. We have to protect it, we have to look after it, we have to think about it in a way that’s sustainable and beneficial for all of us.”
He also explains to Hannah how his eco project is effectively a dating app for investors to find fresh ideas to save the planet.
He says: “Future changes we want to see need to start happening now. This decade of change is when Earthshot is running for.
“Right now the focus is highlighting, showcasing, and scaling all the amazing solutions that are out there. To invest in them, see them, support them and use them — then we will make the earth more sustainable and better for us all going forward.”
William reveals his new obsession with seaweed.
He says: “It draws down carbon, it cleans the oceans, it has a natural cleansing solution that takes the pollutants and toxins out of the water.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton's affectionate nicknames for each other
ROYAL editor Ingrid Seward told The Sun’s Royal Show that the Prince and Princess of Wales have some rather informal pet names for one another.
Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Correspondent Matt Wilkinson, she said: “Prince William was Big Willie, I think.
“Kate was Babykins, But people change their nicknames every time.”
Ingrid added that King Charles often refers to Queen Camilla as “darling” or “beloved.”
