During his latest official meeting, William, Prince of Wales, has left Albert II of Monaco deeply affected with the latest information he has shared with him. The British heir to the throne has broken his silence to speak about the environmental crisis: "We must act urgently."
There is no doubt that William's last year has been marked by tension and concern. In fact, he has been completely focused on the recovery of his wife, Kate Middleton, who is fighting cancer and recovering from it.
In addition, this difficult situation has been compounded by the cancer diagnosis received by his father, King Charles III of England. However, in recent weeks, it seems that William, Prince of Wales has shifted the focus of his priorities.
With both family members showing signs of improvement, the future British monarch has found a new cause to dedicate his attention to. This is a concern that connects him directly with one of the most urgent global issues: the environmental crisis.
In recent days, William, Prince of Wales has attended the Blue Economy and Finance Forum (BEFF), held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. This event was held to raise awareness of one of the most pressing issues today: the preservation of the oceans.
At this important international event, Prince William had the opportunity to deliver a forceful speech on the subject. At that moment, he left Albert II of Monaco very concerned with the information he shared with him and the rest of the attendees.

Under the watchful eye of Albert II of Monaco and the rest of the world's leaders, William, Prince of Wales, stated that "we must act urgently" to save the oceans. He also emphasized that "time is moving forward." "If we save the sea, we save the world," he added.
As reported by Daily Mail, Prince William's speech began and ended in French. In it, he encouraged the world's leaders to "think big" after meeting with the French president, Emmanuel Macron.
This intervention, according to reports, was heard by 1,800 attendees. Among them were not only Albert II of Monaco, but also experts in the field, authorities, and political leaders from around the world.
In his speech, William, Prince of Wales, stated that "the truth is that healthy oceans are essential for life on Earth." "They generate half of the world's oxygen, regulate our climate, and provide food for more than three billion people. Today they need our help," he added.
Meanwhile, he highlighted that "the increase in sea temperature, plastic pollution, and overfishing are putting pressure on these fragile ecosystems and on the people and communities who depend on them the most."
In fact, William, Prince of Wales, stated that "what once seemed like an abundant resource" now "is diminishing before our eyes." However, he also wanted to make one very important thing clear:
"We all run the risk of suffering the consequences, and we are all responsible for change, both negative and positive. But there is still time to change this situation".
