"Am I dreaming?": Prince William serves up burgers from food van
The Prince of Wales has stunned a few unsuspecting customers of a London food truck by serving them burgers.
In collaboration with popular YouTube channel Sorted Food, Prince William took part in the stunt to promote The Earthshot Prize, a mission he founded in hopes to repair the planet.
They worked together to create a plant-based 'Earthshot burger', which they served to customers, in the clip shared on YouTube.
As part of the stunt, Prince William first hid his identity by facing away from the customers, when it was time to serve the food, he turned around with burgers in hand to the shock of the diners.
"My brain took three seconds to buffer - am I dreaming?" one said after seeing Prince William serving burgers.
"I was lost for words," said another.
"I was shell-shocked" said a third.
The Prince of Wales also praised last year's Earthshot Prize winners, and explained that the dishes served used three of their innovations, which all represented a solution to help repair the planet.
"For those of you who don't know, the Earthshot Prize is there to repair and regenerate the planet. Everything you see here comes from the winners from last year," he said.
The ingredients for the burgers were sourced by Indian start-up Kheyti, who support local farmers and help shelter their crops from unpredictable weather events and pests.
The burgers were cooked in a cleaner-burning portable stove from Mukuru Clean Stoves, which aims to reduce air pollution, and the food was served on Notpla takeaway containers made from natural and biodegradable materials.
This is the verdict from the diners: "the best burger we've ever had."
The Prince also joked with diners saying that the global Earthshot Prize started back when he "had hair."
"It's designed as an environmental prize tackling the world's greatest environmental problems," he said.
"We liked the idea that this is a big deal, this is like something we really need to aim for, but it's about saving the planet, not taking us to the moon."
He added: "And there's many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I'm like, hang on, let's not give up on this planet yet."
