There he presented a medal to Professor Richard Henderson. The Professor’s “electron microscopy has resulted in new treatments for several serious diseases and saving lives,” according to Kensington Palace.

In 2017, Professor Henderson won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. William also honored Dr. Thea Musgraves who is one of the most accomplished Scottish composers, and David Climie, a renowned bridge builder.
