What a moving and inspiring premiere of “Ocean with David Attenborough” - thank you @PostcodeLottery and @Bluemarinef for a brilliant evening!

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

🎬🍿💙 Rolling out the blue carpet…

This evening, The King attended the Film Premiere of ‘Ocean with David Attenborough’. The film highlights how the ocean has shaped the world, and why the future of the planet is intertwined with the health of the ocean.

🌊His Majesty, as Prince of Wales, first marked the issue of oil and plastic pollution in the sea in 1970 when he was 21 years old. Since then, The King has continued to champion the importance of ocean health.

Working together, #UnitedforWildlife partners have been able to return almost 1,000 vulnerable and endangered lemurs & tortoises back to their home in Madagascar.

But how did they manage the largest ever repatriation of wildlife?
