Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, are the stars of a glamorous evening as the winners of the Earthshot Prize are set to be revealed in a ceremony taking place in MGM MusicHall at Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts. The event caps a three-day trip to the US for the couple, which even saw William meet with the country’s president, Joe Biden, just hours before the high-profile event kicks off.
The Prince of Wales has declared he wants to “supercharge” the impact of his Earthshot Prize finalists to inspire a “despairing world” that there is a way forward.
In an article published a few hours before the awards ceremony for his environmental prize, William described himself as a “stubborn optimist”.

Writing in the Huffington Post, the future King said about the finalists: “The Earthshot Prize wants to find the best of them. We want to celebrate and support them, so that we not only supercharge their positive impact but also demonstrate to a despairing world that there is an optimistic way forward.
“Dire predictions about our natural world aren’t the only side to this story and they don’t have to be our future.”
Ahead of the event being staged on Friday evening at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway, behind the scenes photographs of William and Kate attending a Thursday rehearsal for the ceremony were released.
But the couple’s three-day trip to Boston, which ends on Friday, has been overshadowed by the race row that saw William’s godmother Lady Susan Hussey resign as a royal aide after she repeatedly questioned a prominent black British-born domestic abuse charity boss about where she “really came from”.

A trailer promoting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix docuseries was released on Thursday, with the timing interpreted by some royal commentators as a snub to William and Kate.
William wrote about the thinking behind his award and how he was inspired by President John F Kennedy’s successful “Moonshot” ambition to put a man on the moon.
He said: “We face a challenge as seemingly insurmountable as putting a person on the moon: reversing the damage that has been done to our planet, and putting ourselves on a path toward a more sustainable future. Repairing our planet is not going to be easy, but the case for taking action to protect our natural world is undeniable.”
Ahead of the awards William visited the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, with Caroline Kennedy, JFK’s daughter and her children Jack and Tatiana Schlossberg.
During the visit, the prince was shown exhibits from the pivotal years of the Kennedy Administration in the 1960s, ahead of the moon landing in 1969, including a facsimile of JFK’s famous “We choose to go to the moon” speech, which he delivered at Rice University, Houston, in September 1962 informing the public about his mission to land a man on the moon before 1970.
“Incredible,” William said, as he looked at the speech. “What was he trying to do here?” he asked, pointing out JFK’s hand-written annotations on some sections of the speech.
Jack Schlossberg replied: “To a lot of people, he was trying to justify the investment that was going to be needed.”
After the visit, the Kennedys joined William for a private lunch and discussion with representatives from the Founding Partner organisations of the Earthshot Prize.
William met US president Joe Biden at the end of the royal’s visit to John F Kennedy’s Presidential Library and Museum, on a chilly but sunny day, and as he approached the world leader joked “where’s your top?”.

The Prince, who was wearing a suit, replied “Mr President, nice to see you again” and they shook hands warmly outside the building and spoke to each other for a few minutes.
As they left for private talks, where William gave Mr Biden an overview of the Earthshot Prize, the prince was overheard saying “spectacular setting” in reference to the waterside views from the museum.
A Kensington palace spokesman described the 30-minute talks between the two men as “warm, friendly and substantive”.
William thanked President Biden for travelling to London for the late Queen’s funeral in September and they both shared memories of the monarch.
The spokesman said Mr Biden was keen to learn about Earthshot and some of the stories from the finalists, including the Great Bubble Barrier, a 2022 finalist in the Revive Our Oceans category. The prince also shared his global, long term ambition for environmental awards.
Kate pays touching tribute to Princess Diana
The emerald and diamond choker necklace which the Princess of Wales opted to wear for tonight’s ceremony, once belonged to the former Princess of Wales, Princess Diana.
The necklace was famously adapted while in Diana’s possession to suit her outfit or mood for the event.
Famously, in her royal tour of Australia in 1985, Diana decided to wear the choker as a statement headband.
The re-use of a piece of jewellery in such a creative way would no doubt be suppoerted by Kate’s drive to wear sustainable and re-usable fashion choices.
The Art Deco choker has a prominent place in the history of the royal family as is once belonged to Queen Mary.
The Queen was presented with it among other jewels during the Delhi Durbar in 1911 which she then had made into the choker necklace it is today.
Since Diana passed away, the necklace was returned to the royal collection and even been part of various exhibitions.
However, the necklace is once again being worn by a Princess of Wales and is certainly garnering all of the attention it once got with its previous owner.

David Beckham and other celebrities join the star-studded event
Actress Catherine O’Hara and ex-footballer David Beckham have arrived on the green carpet as they prepare to give out awards to two of the winners in tonight’s ceremony.
The co-hosts of the event, radio broadcaster Clara Amfo and actor Daniel Dae Kim also joined others on the green carpet ahead of the event.
Presenters Rami Malek and Shailene Woodley have also just arrived on the carpet.
Other arrivals include singer Annie Lennox and US Senator Mitt Romney and his wife Ann.

Princess of Wales continues commitment to sustainable fashion
The Princess of Wales has often made a conscious effort to re-use items in her wardrobe to make a statement about the sustainability of fashion and to encourage others to re-use rather than buy new for a one-off occasion.
The striking green dress donned by the Duchess this evening is from rental platform HURR, by Solace London.
As more and more fashion companies turn to renting out their items to support sustainable fashion, the Princess has opted to support the motion by renting her dress for reportedly £74 for the night.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have arrived
The royal pair have arrived at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway to cheers and applause.
The Princess opted for a bright green, off the shoulder, floor-length gown for the event with a nod to the ceremony’s focus on a greener future.
Royal fans have praised the dress with one saying: “She looks stunning! Looks like emeralds.”
Keen-eyed fans spotted that Kate opted to wear the late Princess Diana’s emerald choker necklace for the event.
One fan commented: “Catherine looks absolutely beautiful especially glowing with Diana s chocker! Wonderful couple”

Welcome to the Earthshot Prize Live Blog
Good evening, I am Emma Crabtree and I will be bringing you all of the latest updates on the Earthshot Prize event in Boston this evening.
Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, dubbed the “anti-ageing millionaire”, has been accused of using nondisclosure agreements to silence employees at his startup Blueprint about his bizarre behaviour.
Under the agreement, the workers had to attest that they were okay with him wearing “little and sometimes no clothing/no underwear” and with hearing “discussions of sexual activities, including erections”, according to a New York Times report, which was published last week, nearly a month after Mr Johnson accused the American newspaper of preparing to publish a “hit piece” about him.
The workers also had to agree that the 47-year-old’s behaviour was not “unwelcome, offensive, humiliating, hostile, triggering, unprofessional or abusive”, the report said.
Mr Johnson, however, said last month the opt-in agreement was “fair to all concerned and is in everyone’s best interest.”
What NYT Report Said About Bryan Johnson
The report said the Blueprint employment agreement with confidentiality terms was 20 pages long and included dozens of restrictions.
The 20-page agreement said the workers must keep confidential “any nonpublic information regarding Bryan’s home, office, personal effects in his home or office, any spaces rented or owned by Bryan, any vehicles/planes/automobiles/boats/other methods of transportation that are not publicly accessible, or areas of his home or such space that are not publicly accessible”.
Bryan Johnson frequently walked around with “little clothing” on and sometimes flirted with Blueprint’s largely female staff, the news outlet, which interviewed 30 people, said. But because of the opt-in agreement, no one was able to complain.
He also made millions from selling his payments firm Braintree to PayPal in 2013, and started investing the amount in his anti-ageing experiments. He then divorced his wife, hired prostitutes and took drugs like acid, Ibogaine and DMT, the report said.
What Bryan Johnson Said On NYT Report
Bryan Johnson, whose “Project Blueprint” inspired the Netflix documentary “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever”, said the New York Times “tried to come” for him but “missed”.
“What was meant to be a takedown ended up reading like a profile piece,” he posted on X on Friday, hours after the report was published.
“They spent a year digging, talked to 30 people, including former fired employees, propped up my ex as their star witness (who tried to extract $9 million from me and failed) And still came up empty. It was only by contorting and twisting facts to fit a narrative that they barely had enough to publish,” he said as he “thanked” NYT for the coverage.
The New York Times tried to come for me and missed.

Last month, Mr Johnson also publicly responded to the “fact-checking” questions that were mailed to him by the NYT reporter before publishing the story.
Speaking about the opt-in agreement at Blueprint, he said, “I post nudes on social media. I track my nighttime erections. My team openly discusses my semen health. We make dank memes. Rather than letting people walk in blind, we disclose this upfront, in writing, so there are no surprises.”
“This isn’t coercion; it’s transparency. This practice is fair to all concerned and is in everyone’s best interest. If someone doesn’t align with our culture, they are free to work elsewhere. No one is forced to sign anything. The opt-in agreement exists to ensure that people understand and consent to the environment. It eliminates ambiguity and prevents misunderstandings,” he added.
Question:
“My reporting shows that you have used confidentiality agreements extensively in your personal life and also at your businesses, with at least more than two dozen people over the last ten years. The agreements I have seen over the years have grown to be much longer and…— Bryan Johnson (@bryan_johnson) February 24, 2025
Mr Johnson, who reportedly spends $2 million every year to reverse his age, also said the confidentiality agreements are “standard and normal”.
“I would be surprised if you didn’t sign one as a condition of employment at The New York Times. On a personal level, my life is under constant scrutiny. These agreements try to create clear boundaries and expectations, so that trust isn’t left to chance,” he said.
“Over time, our agreements have evolved, just like everything else I iterate & improve upon. The goal is precision. Clarity eliminates confusion. People know where they stand, and that’s a win for everyone,” Mr Johnson added.
New Delhi:
A Wisconsin man who voted for President Donald Trump says he does not regret his decision, even after federal immigration authorities arrested his wife upon their return from their honeymoon.
Bradley Bartell’s wife, Camila Munoz, a Peruvian citizen, overstayed her visa but was working toward obtaining permanent residency in the US. Despite their ordeal, Mr Bartell still supports Trump, who has pledged the largest mass deportation effort in US history. “I don’t regret the vote,” Mr Bartell told Newsweek.
“He didn’t create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is,” he said.
Ms Munoz arrived in Wisconsin Dells in 2019 on a work-study visa, which expired as COVID-19 halted international travel. She worked in farming and hospitality, where she met Mr Bartell.
After initially losing his phone number, she later reconnected with him on Facebook, and they began a serious relationship. The couple eventually married but delayed their honeymoon due to the pandemic.
In February, they travelled to Puerto Rico for a long-overdue honeymoon. Upon returning, immigration agents questioned Ms Munoz about her citizenship status. When she explained that she was in the process of obtaining a green card, she was detained. She is now held in an ICE facility in Louisiana.
Speaking to Newsweek, Mr Bartell described the distress of witnessing his wife’s detention. “It’s all been a nightmare, really,” he said. “We have an attorney. The system is very inefficient, so it is taking longer than it should.”
Since sharing his story, Mr Bartell has faced backlash. “I’ve received a lot of hateful messages, plenty of people saying we deserve this. And a lot of other insults,” he said.
Donald Trump has vowed to carry out large-scale deportations of undocumented migrants, particularly those with criminal records. Growing concerns suggest that enforcement efforts are targeting individuals beyond the “worst first” approach Trump originally promised.
ICE agents have detained nonviolent offenders and legal residents as part of Trump’s deportation plans, and the White House maintains that anyone in the country illegally is considered a criminal.
Mr Bartell has criticized ICE, calling for reform. “ICE never really has any information, it seems. The system needs to be revamped for better processes and communication between departments.” He also admitted that he has considered moving to Peru if his wife is deported. “It has crossed my mind, but it would be very difficult for my son,” he said.
Mr Bartell is not the only Trump supporter affected by the administration’s immigration policies. On March 8, Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder, was detained at his home in a Columbia University-owned building in front of his pregnant wife. Mr Khalil, known for his involvement in campus protests, is also being held in a Louisiana detention centre.
Since January, the US has deported 388 Indian nationals, the government told Parliament on Friday. Of them, 333 were flown back on three military flights in February.

SRH vs RR LIVE: Favourites off the mark
Sunrisers Hyderabad are one of the favourites to go the distance in IPL 2025, and they’ve shown today exactly why. New buy Ishan Kishan led the way with 106*, and SRH will hope his injury isn’t too bad. Excellent contributions by Head, Abhishek, Klaasen and Reddy too. The power-packed batting did its job today.
19:31 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: VICTORY FOR SRH
GAME OVER. Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs. A stunning display of power-hitting with the bat laid the foundation. RR gave it a go, thanks largely to Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel, but never looked like they could really win.
RR 242/6 (20)
19:27 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Harshal gets another wicket!
Harshal Patel took the wicket of Sanju Samson earlier, and now adds Shimron Hetmyer to that tally. He has bowled well in the death overs, at a decent economy as well, in a very high-scoring encounter.
RR 241/6 (19.5)
19:25 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: SRH win?
Rajasthan Royals slam 15 runs off the 19th over, but SRH have mathematically won this game if they bowl legal deliveries in all the remaining balls. RR have given it a good go after losing many early wickets, but they’ll fall short comfortably in the end.
RR 232/5 (19)
19:18 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Ishan Kishan looks in pain
Ishan Kishan looks to be in a lot of pain. He is receiving treatment off the field, on the edge of the boundary. He slammed an incredible century earlier today. An injury to him would be dreadful news for the Sunrisers.
19:16 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Hetmyer to the party
Another expensive over! Adam Zampa goes for 22 in the over. Six and a four each for Hetmeyer and Dubey. Ishan Kishan is hurt! Oh no. The century star is hobbling and goes off the field. This could be a big worry for SRH.
RR 217/5 (18)
19:14 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Wow, Shubham Dubey!
Shubham Dubey is on fire! The left-hander is playing an incredible cameo, and has slammed Pat Cummins for two sixes in a row. Poor spell by the Australian, who has given away 45 runs in 3 overs. Three sixes in total in that over.
Even if they don’t win, these hits will do RR a world of good.
RR 195/5 (17)
19:08 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Great over by Harshal
Harshal Patel bowls an excellent over. Concedes just 4 runs in the 16th. RR need a massive 114 runs in four overs. Seems like they’re on the verge of giving up.
RR 173/5 (16)
19:02 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Next to impossible now
Rajasthan Royals need a massive 118 runs in 30 balls. Required run-rate nearly 24. 5-down, Shimron Hetmyer and Shubham Dubey are the only two recognized batters remaining for the men in pink. Sunrisers Hyderabad are motoring towards victory in their first game of IPL 2025.
RR 169/5 (15)
18:59 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: JUREL OUT!
That could be game over! Dhruv Jurel has to go for the big hits, but doesn’t get the perfect connection this time. Finds Ishan Kishan at deep mid-wicket. That’s the end of a fine knock by Jurel, but Rajasthan Royals might be done now. First wicket for Adam Zampa.
RR 161/5 (14.2)
18:57 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: SAMSON DEPARTS!
Huge wicket. Huge wicket for SRH, and could that be the death knell for Rajasthan Royals. Right after hitting a six, Samson tries to go for another biggie. Mistimes it on this occasion, top edge, Heinrich Klaasen takes the catch.
Samson departs for 66 off 37. RR now need 21 runs per over.
RR 161/4 (14)
18:50 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: 4 SIXES IN THE OVER
Another SIX off Dhruv Jurel’s blade. Classy, this one. Impeccable timing, impeccable power. In the slot, Jurel hits it clean over long-on. Two balls later, Samson hits another six. 26 runs off Simarjeet Singh’s over. Much-needed for RR. 100-run partnership, and 150 up.
RR 151/3 (13)
18:47 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: 50 for Jurel!
50 for Dhruv Jurel, and with a magnificent shot. Freebie by Simarjeet, Jurel once again hits it handsomely over the extra cover region. Next ball, goes for another 6! RR slightly fighting back, they need a lot more of this.
RR 139/3 (12.3)
18:45 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Another poor over for RR
Another weak over for Rajasthan Royals. Just 3 runs off the 12th over. 7 runs in the last 12 balls. Required run-rate is above 20 now for RR. Jurel has still not reached his half-century. He was 44 off 17, but has scored only five runs in his next 10 balls.
RR 125/3 (12)
18:43 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Shami drops a sitter!
Sanju Samson did not time it well, flicked it towards short fine leg, but Shami has put it down. Wasn’t a particularly difficult catch, but caught Shami by surprise. He’s hurt his fingers here, seems to have some bleeding. Let’s hope it isn’t a big injury. He has left the field for some treatment.
RR 125/3 (11.5)
18:40 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Top stuff from Zampa
Just 4 runs off the 11th over. After being hammered for 14 in his first over, Zampa comes back strong. RR cannot afford such low-scoring overs. The required run rate keeps climbing, nearly 19 per over now.
RR 122/3 (11)
18:34 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: 50 for Samson
50 for Sanju Samson! Pressure game, big task, the captain steps up from the front. Not at his fittest, but he’s come on as an Impact Player and made his presence felt. 26-ball half-century for him. He’s set the foundation.
RR 118/3 (10)
18:32 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Jurel playing a gem!
Yet more runs for Dhruv Jurel. Abhishek pitches it down the leg side, Jurel sweeps over the fielder at short fine leg, picks up another 4. 12 off the over, but RR’s required rate is now nearly 17 per over. Many big hits needed still.
RR 108/3 (9)
18:29 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: 100 up for RR
100 up for Rajasthan Royals! Comes with a huge six of Dhruv Jurel, as he clears the ropes over extra cover. Abhishek Sharma is back in for a second over, and Jurel greets him with a powerful shot. A lot of responsibility on Jurel, who was retained for a big sum of Rs 14 crore by RR.
RR 103/3 (8.3)
18:26 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: SIX MORE!
Zampa tosses one up, Sanju Samson hits it sweet and into the stands. Into the 40s now. The RR captain needs to play the innings of his life here, to take his team to victory today. 43 off 20 is a good start for him.
RR 91/3 (7.4)
18:24 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: The equation
205 runs needed off 78 balls, as things stand. Required run rate: 15.77. Many, many big hits needed if RR are to pull off an unlikely chase. SRH bring on an impact sub, as Adam Zampa comes on for Travis Head.
RR 82/3 (7)
18:21 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Great over by Abhishek
Abhishek Sharma introduced into the attack for the first over after the powerplay, and bowls a really neat one. Only 5 runs off it, with one boundary. Rajasthan Royals are in the hunt as long as Samson and Jurel are at the crease.
RR 82/3 (7)
18:16 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: 77 in the powerplay
Good powerplay for Rajasthan, in terms of runs scored! 20 runs off Cummins’ first over. Not quite the 94 that SRH managed, but RR have begun with a good run-rate. Their big worry is that they’ve lost 3 wickets. A huge partnership is necessary.
RR 77/3 (6)
18:13 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Massive SIX
6, 4, 4! Dhruv Jurel welcomes Pat Cummins with a huge hit. In the slot, and Jurel hits it incredibly over long on. Next ball, Jurel flicks it away for 4! Third one, down the ground for another boundary.
Meanwhile, all-rounder Nitish Reddy is off the field and is being attended by physios. Slight injury scare for SRH.
RR 71/3 (5.3)
18:06 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: OUT!
Another batter departs! Mohammed Shami strikes now. First wicket in orange for the experienced India pacer. Rana tries to go big, horribly mistimes it, sends it straight up. It goes high, and it’s an easy catch for Pat Cummins.
RR 50/3 (4.1)
18:05 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Samson on the charge
As long as Sanju Samson is there, RR will have hope! He’s made a wonderful start here. 28 off 10 balls! 4, 6, 4 off Simarjeet Singh. Rajasthan Royals pick up 15 off the over, 50 up in 4 overs. They need to build on this momentum.
RR 50/2 (4)
17:58 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: 4, Rana!
Good inswinger by Shami, Nitish Rana tries to block, gets a thick outside edge and it runs away for 4 through third man. Finds exactly the gap between first slip and the short-third fielder. RR need plenty more runs, and a big partnership.
RR 33/2 (2.4)
17:54 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Parag GONE, Simarjeet again!
ONE MORE! Rajasthan Royals are falling apart, Simarjeet Singh has taken two wickets in one over. Utterly incredible scenes here. Riyan Parag slammed a boundary in his first ball, and then completely mistimes the next one. Going for a big one, top edge and an easy catch for Pat Cummins.
RR 24/2 (1.5)
17:51 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Jaiswal GONE!
SIMARJEET STRIKES! Yashasvi Jaiswal will have to walk back for just 1. Tries to cut hard, Abhinav Manohar takes a superb jumping catch at backward point. RR suffer a huge blow, and it is the dangerous Jaiswal who departs.
RR 20/1 (1.3)
17:50 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Samson goes BANG
6, 4, 4! Sanju Samson is off the mark in style. Breaks loose against Mohammed Shami, RR have piled up 16 in the first over. This is the perfect star, but they need a lot, lot more of this. Simarjeet Singh will bowl the next over.
RR 16/0 (1)
17:47 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Here comes Samson!
As expected, Sanju Samson has opened the batting with Yashasvi Jaiswal. RR’s original captain enters as the Impact Player. Great start, smashes a 6 off Mohammed Shami in the first over. Pitched short, hooked away for a maximum.
RR 8/0 (0.4)
17:41 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Samson expected to enter
Sanju Samson is set to bat in the second innings. His captaincy was missed out on the pitch by RR, but can he ease the pain with a fiery knock with the bat? Him and Jaiswal will need to make a bulk of the runs.
17:38 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Stunning batting
Ishan Kishan was expected to strengthen an already incredible batting lineup, and he’s made his mark straight away. Ignored by India, dropped from central contract, could this be his season to make his way back into national selection? Wow, what a knock.
17:33 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Highest IPL totals
Highest totals in IPL history:
SRH – 287/3 vs RCB (2024)

SRH 286/6 (20)
17:25 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Deshpande on a hattrick!
Sunrisers Hyderabad are only 9 runs away from the IPL record total, but things have gone a little bit awry here. Two wickets in two balls for Tushar Deshpande in the final over. Aniket Verma and Abhinav Manohar depart in consecutive balls.
SRH 279/6 (19.3)
17:24 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: CENTURY ISHAN KISHAN
ISHAN KISHAN, you beauty! What a stunning century on his debut for SRH. 6, 6, 2 to get to the landmark. A ton in just 45 balls for the stylish left-hander. A knock of high, high class. Rs 11.25 crore, worth its weight in gold.
SRH 273/4 (19)
17:20 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: OUT!
Heinrich Klaasen is gone. Sandeep Sharma strikes in his last over. The South African marauder has done his job, and taken SRH towards that 300-run mark. 34 off 14 balls, job well done. Ishan Kishan now needs his century.
SRH 258/4 (18.2)
17:17 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: Huge unwanted record for Archer
4-0-76-0! Jofra Archer has conceded the most runs ever by a bowler in a single spell in IPL history. Bought for a whopping Rs 12.50 crore by RR, and it has been a disastrous start for the English pacer.
SRH 256/3 (18)
