Kate wears rented green gown to Earthshot Prize ceremony

The Princess of Wales showed off her green credentials by wearing a rented gown as she arrived for her husband’s Earthshot Prize ceremony to honour environmental pioneers. Kate dazzled on the green carpet with her dress of the same hue as five innovative ideas that William hopes will help repair the planet were celebrated and awarded £1 million in prize money to scale up their projects.

The event staged this year in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the highlights of the Prince of Wales’s official calendar and has been dubbed the future King’s “World Cup” moment by Hannah Jones, the Earthshot Prize’s chief executive officer. Celebrities who walked the green carpet at the awards ceremony included Hollywood actor Rami Malek, former England men's football captain David Beckham while artists performing on the night included Billie Eilish, Annie Lennox, Ellie Goulding and Beyonce proteges Chloe x Halle.
