William met Antonio Guterres during his brief visit to the US to promote his environmental Earthshot Prize and unveil the 2023 finalists.
Last night's 30-minute meeting was deeply important to William - and showed that, just over a year into the job, he has grown into the role of Prince of Wales. A Kensington Palace spokesman said the prince also asked the secretary general about his recent trip to Nairobi for the African climate summit.
Cop28, the UN climate change summit being hosted in November by the United Arab Emirates, was also a topic of conversation. "They touched upon their shared hope for COP28 to deliver a significant outcome on emissions reductions," said the spokesman. During their talk William highlighted how the Earthshot Prize is strongly aligned with the objectives of the UN.
He also thanked Mr Guterres for his continued support for Earthshot, whose finalists were set to be unveiled at the Plaza Hotel in New York later today.
