His latest honour comes after Sir David was featured in the Platinum Party at the Palace jubilee concert.
Sir David's career spans seven decades and he is a member of the Earthshot Prize council, an initiative launched by the Duke of Cambridge to find solutions to environmental issues.
William highlighted the efforts of "visionary environmentalists" during that section of the show, which saw a clip of Sir David projected on to Buckingham Palace.
