HAPPY 43RD BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVE HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES, WILLIAM ARTHUR PHILIP LOUIS ♡

— William
21 JUNE 2025 | Robert Irwin spoke about The Prince of Wales and about the experience he's had collaborating with Prince William on the Earthshot Prize to the Mirror.
Speaking about The Prince of Wales, he said :
"I love being around passionate people, it inspires me. The prince is just that - passionate, curious and thoughtful. I’ve been fortunate enough to share many great discussions about the things we love about the natural world. And it's clear that he has a profound love for wildlife and wild places."
About Earthshot :
“The Earthshot Prize really stands out as a global mission that leads with a sense of hope. And let’s be real, we need hope more than ever before. We also need solutions to the big issues that face our precious planet and the project exemplifies a sense of urgent optimism.
I have the privilege of carrying on a conservation legacy that my dad and my family created, and that is something very important to me. It makes me feel incredibly excited and hopeful when I get to join forces with like minded causes dedicated to making the world a better place. To be part of an initiative that shares the values of our own charity efforts through Wildlife Warriors is a great honour."
He added, speaking about Prince William and his work with Earthshot:
“He knows that he can put a spotlight on people making a real difference. He takes this responsibility very seriously, and he has a great ability to direct attention to where it needs to be. He is very compassionate and works hard to make sure that his conservation efforts benefit people as much as the environment.
I'm always impressed by his knowledge and dedication and in the conversations I have had with him, I often learn something new. Most importantly though, he truly cares about a healthy planet for our future generations."
Speaking about the fourth Earthshot Awards in Cape Town in 2024 :
“Firstly, getting to spend the week in one of my favourite cities on earth was fantastic. For me, speaking with the finalists and learning about what makes them passionate was a real highlight.
Their connection to their causes are all deeply personal and very inspiring. It was also incredible meeting so many young conservationists and activists, and of course it was wonderful to spend time with the prince. I learn something new about his tireless efforts in conservation each time I have the chance to speak with him."
He said the sole objective of the prince’s mission and indeed the prize itself, was to highlight those places on earth that require our urgent focus :
"We are midway through the Earthshot decade of action and coming to the halfway point, it’s clear we need to double down on our mission and focus on fresh action."
About a potential Australian Earthshot, he said :
“All four corners of the globe need Earthshot but of course I’d love to welcome
Earthshot to Australia one day.”
He wished The Prince of Wales a Happy Birthday saying :
"He works tirelessly for the causes he loves so I also hope he takes some time out in nature on this special day.”
Robert Irwin, the son of iconic environmentalist Steve Irwin, said Prince William's eco mission to help save the planet is needed 'more than
