The theatrical film opened with broadcasters from around the world announcing the arrival of the royal family in Singapore, while moving music built the atmosphere.
Clips from William’s rousing speeches during the trip were also used, including parts of his remarks at the awards ceremony.
“The past year has been one of great change and even greater challenge,” he said.
‘A year in which the consequences of the climate crisis have become too visible to ignore.
“I would like to thank Singapore very much for the welcome you have given us.
‘This is a great city, using innovation to make a real impact on the future of our entire planet.’
The video, just under four minutes long, was uploaded to the Prince and Princess of Wales’s YouTube channel.
The couple also commissioned London-based advertising filmmaker Will Warr to capture a behind-the-scenes film, which sees the happy family preparing for a number of events over Coronation Weekend earlier this year.

The star-studded ceremony was broadcast in Britain and the US on Sunday, after taking place on the South-East Asian island on November 7.

The photos show a more casual side of the future king, wearing a dark suit with an open collar – offset by a pair of white sneakers.

The royals also shared backstage footage from Wednesday’s ceremony, which saw Prince William checking his notes before stepping on stage to deliver a speech.

It awards five £1 million prizes annually across the Earthshot themes of clean air, oceans, waste reduction, climate change and nature restoration.
Over the past year, the Earthshot Prize cohort has benefited 1.5 million people worldwide, restored 2.1 million hectares of ocean, and sequestered 35,000 tons of carbon emissions.
On Thursday, Prince William took part in a rare Instagram Q&A about staying focused, his favorite animal, the best food he tried in Singapore and his love for Aston Villa FC.
He was also asked what makes him optimistic, his favorite part of last night’s awards ceremony, why he started the award and where it will be held next year.
