Prince William channelled his inner James Bond today as he joined  Kate Middleton who stunned in a custom Alexander McQueen dress on the green carpet for the first ever Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 39, walked side by side as they headed into the ceremony at Alexandra Palace at the first ceremony of the most ambitious environmental prize in history. 

Ditching his usual black tuxedo for a trendy polo neck and green velvet jacket, William, who created the Earthshot Prize with the Royal Foundation, looked like the picture of 007 while Kate sported classic Hollywood glamour.

Kate, who often recycles her custom clothing, first sported the dress - estimated to be worth £4,290 - at a BAFTA ceremony in Los Angeles in 2011.

The pale lilac colourway and delicate pleating perfectly complemented Kate's frame. Known for her effortless style and poised looks, the royal wore her hair in her signature bouncy blow-dry with a light curl while opting for a glamourous make-up look.

Her Royal Highness added a defined highlighter and bold red cheek, a decided change from her usual natural glow.
