Prince William has sparked a fan frenzy by teasing a “very special” project.

The Prince of Wales, 42, took to his social media accounts on X and Instagram which he shares with his wife, Princess Kate, to post two new photographs.


The pictures showed the royal being filmed for an upcoming initiative, and an accompanying caption read: “Filming for a very special @EarthshotPrize project earlier today. Watch this space.”

Prince William founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020 to award those who help find solutions to defeating climate change.

Royal fans went into a frenzy and began commenting underneath the post, speculating what the upcoming project could be.

Prince William could be seen holding an umbrella in a wood while wearing a navy blue raincoat.

One royal watcher commented: “Can’t wait to watch this.”

Another said: “Great job my prince! Looking forward to it.”

A third said: “Exciting, I look forward to seeing it! It’s for a fantastic cause, the ideas these incredible people come up with and put into practice are genius.”

Another added: “Watching! Keep doing the excellent work! Signed, an American.”

Someone else commented: “Earthshot is the best program to combat climate change.

“I think every country should make a million dollar pledge to this programme, due to its effectiveness.
