In an unprecedented move, Prince William defies a key rule set by King Charles

Dedicating himself to advancing the cause of the Earthshot, the Prince of Wales has taken a step that seemingly contradicts the stance of King Charles.

Prince William is strategically including China in his forthcoming Earthshot Prize plans for 2024, a decision perceived as groundbreaking.

As reported by The Times, the Duke of Cambridge aims to involve both China and India in his future sustainability initiatives, notwithstanding King Charles' reluctance regarding China, shaped by concerns about human rights in the nation.

"Prince William emphasizes the crucial role of Asia in climate and environmental matters," a source revealed.

"He holds the belief that when addressing the future of the planet, excluding a significant portion of it is counterproductive.

"To expedite the transformative impact he envisions, he recognizes the necessity of collaboration with China and India—two major global economies and leading carbon dioxide emitters.

"This isn't a commentary on government policies.

"It's a reflection of his environmental approach and his potential to effect genuine global change.

"He contemplates, 'Where can I catalyze impact and instigate change, not only locally but across the globe?' This encapsulates his long-term perspective."
