Prince William

Prince William denied Britain's royal family is racist Thursday in his first public comments since Prince Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

"We're very much not a racist family," William said in response to questions from the media as he visited a school in east London with his wife, Kate,the Duchess of Cambridge.

William added that he hadn't spoken to his brother yet, "but I plan to."

Prince William has announced a multi-million pound prize for “visionaries” working to solve “Earth’s greatest environmental problems,” from climate change to air pollution. The Earthshot Prize will be awarded to five winners, every year, for the next 10 years. The initiative’s goal is to provide “at least 50 solutions to the world’s greatest problems by 2030.”
