Welcome to our first ever live episode of A Right Royal Podcast, where your hosts Andrea Caamano, Emmy Griffiths and HELLO!'s Royal Editor Emily Nash took to the stage with Extreme Hangout to discuss the royal family's commitment to environmental issues with London Climate Action Week.
During the conversation, we were joined by Pierre Paslier, who won the Earthshot Prize back in 2022 with his incredible brand Notpla, a plastic packaging alternative which has now been used across stadiums - and at Wimbledon - as biodegradable food containers.
Pierre has worked closely with Prince William on several projects, and spoke candidly about the royal's commitment to making major change - and we have to admit that we're seriously inspired!
Pierre explained: "It's very intimidating the first time you get to be in the room and then have a conversation with anyone from a royal family. There's this expectation that it's all a bit of a front, and they are just playing this character, but having now met him around ten times, what you see is what you get.

During the chat, we also discuss Princess Catherine's work with nature following her illness, and the truth about who wrote King Charles' two books.
