Prince William sent well-wishes to conservationist Robert Irwin before his recent appearance on the popular show “Dancing With The Stars.” The Prince of Wales, aged 43, expressed confidence in Robert’s ability to win the competition alongside his dance partner, Witney Carson. This encouragement proved beneficial as Robert and Witney achieved the highest scores of the night, securing their place in the semi-finals.
Prior to their performance, Robert, 21, mentioned dedicating the dance to his sister Bindi and Prince William. Despite missing a planned event with Prince William in Brazil, Robert committed to the show. In a video message, Prince William praised Robert’s environmental efforts, emphasizing their shared goal of protecting the planet.
During the show, a recorded message from Prince William was played, expressing his support for Robert. The conservationist was visibly moved by the message as he prepared for his performance. Following their dance, judges like Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba lauded Robert’s storytelling abilities and emotional performance.
Originally from Australia, Robert has made a name for himself hosting “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here” in Australia, along with roles in reality TV and wildlife photography. With a tragic past following his father’s death during a filming accident, Robert continues to excel in his conservation work and entertainment career.
