CONSERVATIONIST Robert Irwin got the ultimate surprise when the Prince of Wales called him to wish him the “best of luck” as he competes in Dancing with the Stars.

Due to his commitments on the US TV show - based on Strictly Come Dancing - Irwin, 21, had to miss the recent Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony in Brazil, which he often attends in his role as an ambassador.

“We're missing you, Robert,” William said in the call, which took place ahead of the awards in Rio de Janeiro last week.
