Prince William serves up environment-friendly burger to surprised diners
Mon 31 Jul 2023Britain’s Prince William had served up a surprise to hungry citizens when he dished out environment-friendly burgers from a food truck in south London.
The heir to the throne, who established the annual Earthshot Prize to aid in the development of solutions to significant environmental problems, distributed “Earthshot Burgers” in a video posted on Sunday to highlight the efforts of last year’s winners.
“Coming right up,” the prince said as he served up the burgers to the stunned customers. “Morning everyone, nicely cooked, ready to go.”
The goal for William, who collaborated with the creators of the YouTube channel Sorted Food to assess kitchen appliances and offer recipes, was to increase the work and profile of three past Earthshot Prize winners.
“So the box you’re about to eat in is built by a company called Notpla and there’s no plastic involved, they’ve come up with a seaweed coating,” the prince told the customers at the burger van.
“The ingredients inside the burger are grown from a greenhouse in India from a company called Kheyti, and last but not least, the way we cook them has been on a thing called Mukuru Clean Stoves, and that is designed by a lady in Kenya who came up with the concept to reduce air pollution.”
