Kate Middleton and Prince William achieve a rare common award from that time 100

Kate Middleton and Prince William are two of the times100 award winners for 2025.

The prince and the princess of Wales were recognized for the “modernization of the royal philanthropy” in a new homage TIME Reporter Harry Booth.

Booth wrote that William and Kate passed back centuries, but deals as “less with cultural preservation and more on social problems, the fight against homelessness and the mental health of rural areas through their royal foundation and the limelight positioned innovative solutions for climate change through the Earthshot Prize.”

Since they have come a step closer to the British throne, the couple spoke about modernizing the monarchy and returning the communities more transparently and more reliably.

“I can only describe what I try to do, and I try differently and I try to do it for my generation,” said Prince William in November 2024 to the BBC.

“It's more about impact philanthropy, collaboration, convocation and help of people,” he added. “And I will also throw in empathy because it is really important to me what I do. It helps to influence people's lives. And I think we could do with a little more sensitive tour around the world.”

Last month, Prince William announced that the Earthshot price ceremony 2025 will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November. This is the fifth continent, which has been organizing the awards since it was founded in 2020, and will be participated in Brazil with the UN climate change conference 2025 (known in Shorthand as Cop30), in which the prince also takes part in Brazil.

“While we bring the Earthshot Prize to Brazil, a nation that is rich in biological diversity and environmental innovation, we see new dynamics for new ideas to create healthier and safer paths to live our lives,” said William in the announcement. “It is an honor to profile people who make our world a better place for us and for our children.”

“It is crucial for the Wales approach to match solid business strategies and the establishment of alliances to expand their reach,” Booth praised.
