The Facts
The UK's Prince William traveled to Cape Town, South Africa, on Monday for a four-day, environment-focused visit. The trip will see him meet with 120 young environmentalists and award £1M (US$1.3M) to each of the five winners of his annual Earthshot Prize.
While the award ceremony will culminate the trip on Wednesday, William is also scheduled to attend a global wildlife summit, visit a botanical garden, spend time at a sea rescue base, and meet with a local fishing community.
The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The Earthshot Prize is a groundbreaking organization with a unique ability to connect environmental innovation with support networks that can bring ideas into reality. Prince Wlliam knows that while world is already full of genius ideas, the only way they can become reality is through funding and entrepreneurship. Over the next decade, Earthshot winners will help save the planet through conservation and ending pollution.
Establishment-critical narrative
Prince William's charities should not be trusted following the revelations surrounding his and his father's estates. Not only are they using their tax-exempt properties to pocket millions in taxpayer dollars, but they're doing so through fraudulent virtue signaling. These estates, which couldn't even pass minimum energy efficiency standards, are a for-profit business hiding behind the mask of environmentalism.
