William & Robert’s sweet bond
Robert Irwin has found himself a friend in Prince William, after the teenager was filmed interviewing the future king ahead of the Earthshot Prize.
Wills, revealing he was a fan of the 17-year-old’s late dad Steve, offered his condolences for the Crocodile Hunter’s 2006 death, adding, “He’d be so proud of you, Robert.”
An insider close to William says, “Having lost his own mum way too young, who was also a global icon, William felt he could connect ect with Robert in a way not too many can. .
This could be the start of a lifelong friendship between the pair – their values and experiences very much align… apart from the fact that Robert can wrangle crocodiles and Wills can’t!” ”
