London diners were in for a regal treat when they found themselves face-to-face with none other than Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, serving Earthshot veggie burgers from a food van. The Earthshot Prize, a groundbreaking initiative launched by Prince William in 2020, aims to tackle environmental challenges and foster sustainable solutions for a greener planet.
Teaming up with the prominent YouTube channel, Sorted Food, Prince William embarked on a mission to promote the Earthshot Prize and its 2022 winners in a unique and engaging manner. The burgers served to the diners were created using ingredients grown in a revolutionary “greenhouse-in-a-box” by Kheyti in India, cooked on Mukuru clean stoves designed to combat air pollution in Kenya, and served in Notpla’s biodegradable cartons, promoting eco-friendly packaging solutions.
The surprise encounter left diners “shell-shocked,” as they were delightedly served by none other than “Chef” Prince William himself. The royal engagement was not just a gesture; it was a powerful advocacy for sustainable practices and a call to action to address pressing climate issues.

During the event, Prince William passionately explained the Earthshot Prize’s mission, emphasizing that every component of the meal had a meaningful connection to the prize’s winners from the previous year. The use of Notpla’s innovative seaweed coating eliminated plastic, demonstrating the potential for eco-friendly alternatives. The greenhouse-grown ingredients from Kheyti showcased the importance of sustainable farming practices, while Mukuru clean stoves exemplified the significance of clean energy in reducing air pollution.
The collaboration with Sorted Food was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, as the Prince’s dedication to environmental causes resonated with the channel’s audience. Jamie Spafford, co-founder of Sorted Food, expressed how inspiring it was to have Prince William join their studio and food truck, igniting ideas for future projects aimed at fostering a sustainable community.
Beyond the food truck surprise, Prince William extended his advocacy for the Earthshot Prize through a captivating video with Sorted Food. In the video, he showcased products from the 2022 Earthshot winners, including vegetables from Kheyti’s Greenhouse-in-a-box, a stove from Mukuru Clean Stoves, and biodegradable takeout boxes from Notpla. These winners were recognized for their remarkable efforts in Protecting and Restoring Nature, Cleaning Our Air, and Building a Waste-Free World, respectively.
The video not only offered insight into the Prince’s commitment to the Earthshot Prize but also showcased his playful side, joking about his four-year involvement and referring to his hair in jest. Through his engaging and humorous approach, Prince William effectively highlighted the significance of the Earthshot Prize and its potential to drive positive change on a global scale.
As part of the collaboration with Sorted Food, the chefs masterfully crafted plant-based burgers using the fresh vegetables provided by the Earthshot Prize winners. These delicious and environmentally conscious burgers were then cooked on the Mukuru clean stove and served in Notpla’s biodegradable takeout boxes. Prince William actively participated in distributing the burgers to astonished customers at the food truck, generating an unforgettable experience for both diners and viewers.
The video captured the genuine reactions of customers, who were taken aback by the unexpected encounter with royalty. Witnessing Prince William’s down-to-earth and approachable nature, they were not only delighted with their unique meal but also left with a deeper understanding of the Earthshot Prize’s mission and the urgent need to combat climate change.
Prince William’s dedication to the Earthshot Prize extends beyond the food truck venture. In a previous year, he and his wife, Kate Middleton, journeyed to Boston for the Earthshot Prize ceremony, marking their first visit to America in eight years. This international involvement showcased the Prize’s global impact and highlighted the urgency of collective action in safeguarding the planet.
Prince William’s Earthshot surprise at the food van exemplified his commitment to raising awareness for climate change solutions and fostering sustainable practices. Through collaboration with Sorted Food, the Prince effectively showcased the innovative efforts of Earthshot Prize winners and their impact on a greener future.
