Recalling the Queen’s 1989 Christmas message, in which she called on all nations to work together to protect the earth for “our children and children’s children," William said: “It’s my firm hope that my grandmother’s words are as true in 70 years’ time as they are tonight, that as nations we come together in common cause, because then there is always room for hope."
