Kate Middleton is a royal who makes headlines with her various outfits - but one recent (and very green) dress gained the internet's attention for a different reason.
The Prince and Princess of Wales attended The Earthshot Prize 2022 at MGM Music Hall in Boston on December 2 which celebrates environmental contributions and five winners of the prize are awarded $1m to continue their work.
