Why Was Prince William on ‘DWTS’? His Connection to Robert Irwin Explained
Prince William encouraged Robert Irwin on Dancing With the Stars, praising his chances and celebrating the first perfect score of the season, fans said.
- On Tuesday, Prince William, Prince of Wales, made a surprise video call to wish Robert Irwin, 21-year-old conservationist and Earthshot Prize ambassador, luck on Dancing With the Stars, joining him and Witney Carson, professional dance partner, ahead of their performance.
- Robert Irwin is an Earthshot Prize ambassador and missed the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil awards last week because he was competing on Dancing With the Stars, which William co-founded with The Royal Foundation.
- Irwin and Witney Carson performed a Foxtrot to Leona Lewis's Footprints in the Sand, dedicating it to Steve Irwin and Bindi Irwin, and judges awarded a perfect 40-out-of-40.
- Carson reacted that `I can’t believe he just said my name,` after the call, while fans on social media showed shock and delight at William's cameo.
- Such a cameo is unusual for a British royal and stunned viewers, with William linking the appearance to last week's Earthshot awards in Rio and his June voice note to Irwin.
