It seems like just yesterday people here were complaining that William wasn’t doing enough, wasn’t stepping up, was avoiding his responsibilities. And now he’s doing too much, splitting his focus, being too ambitious. Good times!
Nothing in the material sent out by KP itself indicates that anyone involved with the initiative thinks it’s directly comparable to the Nobel Prize or the moon landing. Yet. But it’s clear they have big plans for the prizes and, if so, good for them, because climate change and the environment are big issues.
From the limited information we have so far, it sounds like they’re going to be rewarding knowledgeable people with useful ideas that can be put into practice, which is great because it’s those sorts of people who have the potential to actually halt, or even reverse, some of the problems we’re facing.
I don’t see a problem with William and Kate focusing on more than one major issue. William is going to be The PoW before too long and, at that point, it would make no sense for the couple to have only one big area of focus. Charles is best known for his passion for environmental issues, but he doesn’t focus exclusively on them.
