The 41-year-old said: "I'm really excited about this year's winners and finalists. Last year we had two companies, both have expanded by eight times and are moving into different countries. So it's all about scale now.

"My job is to bring the money in the capital and the private sector into the Earthshot and meet the solutions and go, come on, how can we scale? How can we do more?"

Prince William explained how he feels about this year's finalists.

"I'm really proud of the whole team, to be honest, with Earthshot coming from a seed of an idea to where we are three years later," William told Reuters.

"The whole point is to provide impact and to make change.

"But the guys and girls you've met are fantastic. They're the ones at the forefront.

"And over the next 10 years, we've got to give them the support and all the help we can do so their impacts are magnified greater than what they're already doing."

Prince William was all smiles as he arrived on the green carpet beside A-listers like Cate Blanchett and Hannah Waddingham.
