Overview
- Anti‑monarchy group Republic filed a formal complaint about The Earthshot Prize’s funding, prompting the U.K. Charity Commission to assess whether to open a case.
- DP World is listed as a founding partner of Earthshot and provided at least £1 million in 2022, with the partnership publicly promoted alongside Prince William at a 2022 Dubai event.
- Newly discussed DOJ materials and congressional disclosures identify “Sultan bin Sulayem” in Epstein‑related emails, including a 2009 message referencing a “torture video,” though no wrongdoing has been established.
- Some institutions have paused or reassessed dealings with DP World, with Canada’s La Caisse halting future transactions and requesting clarity from the company.
- Multiple outlets report that Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem has been replaced at DP World, a development not uniformly confirmed, and Earthshot and Kensington Palace have declined detailed comment.
