In a video shared jointly to both Robert and Prince William's official social media accounts, the pair talk about the amazing wildlife of South Africa, and Robert asks the Prince what his favourite African animal is.
“It’s a tough question, my children ask me this regularly," said Prince William in the video clip. "I think I’m going to have to say the cheetah, fantastic animals." Robert Irwin then revealed that his own favourite was the chameleon, which he referred to as an "unsung hero".
Prince William is in Cape Town, South Africa this week ahead of the annual Earthshot Prize awards, which was launched by Prince William to recognise projects creating solutions to climate problems. The awards ceremony will take place tomorrow evening (Wednesday 6 November).

He finished by thanked Mayor Hill-Lewis and Robert Irwin for all their support with the Earthshot Prize.
