Prince William's Earthshot Prize has announced a change in leadership, as CEO Hannah Jones is stepping down. She will be replaced by Jason Knauf, former CEO of The Royal Foundation, who has been appointed CEO by the Board of Trustees.
The pair are now working together to ensure a smooth transition over the coming months and Hannah will continue to give strategic advice on innovation and sustainability to Kensington Palace.
In February, Jason appeared in a new documentary for 60 Minutes Australia called, Where There's a Will. He lavished praise on the future King and said working for the prince and princess was 'the honour of a lifetime'.
Jason also revealed that William was the "lowest" he'd ever been after receiving the news that both his wife and his father had been diagnosed with cancer.
The New Zealander previously worked as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's press secretary and was the aide who accused Meghan Markle of bullying staff 'out of the royal household'.
When asked if it was tough to have the spotlight on him following the leak of his emails alleging bullying by Meghan, he said: "I wouldn't change anything."
