William: We're Robbing Our Children's Futures

Royal couple inspire next generation

- Richard Palmer

THE Duke of Cambridge has criticised the space race and space tourism, warning that our actions could “rob our children’s future”.

In an interview for BBC Newscast about climate change ahead of his inaugural Earth shot Prize awards, Prince William says: “We need some of the world’s greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live.

“If we’re not careful we’re robbing from our children’s future through what we do now. And I think that’s not fair.”
