The Earthshot Prize has launched a TikTok account ahead of the second annual awards ceremony...and Prince William made an appearance in the account’s first video!
“The Earthshot Prize is going to,” the Prince of Wales said before putting the device on the ground to do the step on the camera transition. “Boston this Friday 2nd of December” then appeared on the screen and images of the finalists nominated in the five prize categories were shown.
“William the king of tiktok transitions,” one user commented on the video. Another wrote, “Glad to see The Prince of Wales on TikTok.”
According to the Earthshot Prize’s official Instagram account, users can “search the @ theearthshotprize on Tik Tok for daily doses of climate optimism.”
