It appears as if writing runs in the family! Much like his brother Harry, Prince William is set to work on an upcoming book.
Unlike Spare, however, Prince William will take a less-involved role. He will assume the position of foreword writer for a new children’s book about his very own initiative, The Earthshot Prize.

Titled The Earthshot Prize: A Handbook for Dreamers and Thinkers: Solutions to Repair our Planet, the book will be authored by Colin Butfield and Jonnie Hughes with an expected publication date of October 12, 2023.
Alongside the Prince’s notable contribution, Sir David Attenborough, actress Shailene Woodley and former Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Christiana Figueres will also feature in the publication.
Founded by the Prince and The Royal Foundation in 2020, The Earthshot Prize awards five winners each year for their contributions to the environment. The program aims to find solutions to environmental challenges through innovation.
In this same vein, in the words of the publisher, the book is “aimed at the next generation of innovators of climate solutions [and] is the ultimate handbook for young people looking for practical solutions to help repair the planet.”
The publication also aims to motivate today’s young generation of changemakers.
“We created this handbook to give young people the tools they need to make real, impactful change to our planet. We hope the book will encourage young dreamers to be stubborn optimists, with resilient, positive attitudes and the conviction that the changes they make will, ultimately, improve the world for everyone,” the book’s authors said.

As an initiative close to his own heart, Prince William strongly backs the book’s message.
Set to appear at Earthshot’s third annual awards ceremony on November 7, he spoke more broadly about the project when stating, “The Earthshot Prize is all about showing the world that solutions to some of the biggest environmental challenges we face are out there.
