Remember William's 2022 Earthshot Prize where the finalists were not invited to the ceremony but lots of celebrities were? Well William finally invited them to Windsor where he met them.
Min Wang, whose company, turns desert sand into agricultural land. She invited William to visit one of her project’s sites in China. He said: ‘If I am passing by I will be visiting all of your projects." Amazing. William will visit Earthshot projects if he is passing by.
Finalists will also travel to London where they will attend a forum at Deloitte and will have the chance to meet advisors and potential investors for their projects. I am surprised that has not already happened as that was supposed to be the whole point of Earthshot.

Well, is flying a problem or not then? That's the point. Why on earth have an award ceremony and all that song and dance with no nominees, if they're happy to travel in any case?

Really struggling to believe that I have to explain this, but flying in order to attend a celebrity event for a few hours is not the same as flying in order to attend a week-long programme to further your project, meet potential partners, funders, advisers, experts etc.

Gosh, thank you so much for your time in explaining. Must be awful having to interact with thickos!

I wouldn't say awful, but it is quite surprising sometimes. It can be hard to tell whether someone doesn't get it or is just looking for any excuse to criticise.

Of course, always best to err on the side of being supercilious if you're not sure.

I wouldn't say you were supercilious, maybe a bit dismissive when people challenged you on the Kennedy award thing.

You are tedious.
