Prince William arrived in style on the Earthshot Awards ceremony 'green carpet' , dressed in a thoughtful, smart casual outfit before being greeted by local dancers in Cape Town. William paired a light blue shirt with a black and white check vintage blazer sourced from a vintage shop in London , showcasing his support for sustainable clothing items. On his feet, the Prince of Wales opted for £130, zero plastic and biodegradable trainers by the brand and Earthshot finalist - Purified Shoes.
Royal fans have rushed to social media platform X, to praise the prince for his recycled efforts. One X user, wrote: "Love how he walks the walk with sustainable fashion. We really need to put a stop to the amount of shoddy /unwanted clothing being dumped.
" A second fan wrote, "More of this style please Prince William " whereas another claimed, "Vintage is the way!". Yet another added: "He looked relaxed & as always dashing." As reported in the Mirror , Mary Allen, from Natural Fiber Welding who make Purified Shoes, said: "I had no idea Prince William was going to be wearing the shoes until just before we got here.
It's such a huge honour." She added: "I was told he sourced them himself after learning of our product and it's a massive boost for us. Meeting all them finalists and being here is going to launch us onto massive things, we couldn't be prouder.
Meeting Prince William today was a huge honour and you can sense the passion he has for this project." William walked down the green car.
