It appears as though Robert Irwin is full of admiration for Prince William.
The 21-year-old Australian conservationist, who has worked closely with the Prince on his Earthshot Prize, shared his thoughts with PEOPLEat London Climate Action Week on Tuesday, June 24, about the royal family member, calling him a "kindred spirit,” among other things.
"I haven't just whipped out any tarantulas or anything,” Irwin said when asked if he’s pulled out any surprise creatures on His Royal Highness. “But to be honest, if there's anyone who could handle that, it's him. I mean, he's been around wildlife from the time he was really, really young."
Irwin also spoke fondly of the Prince’s passion for conservation. “When you're talking to him — I was just talking to him just now… I mentioned Notpla, this awesome finalist who's working on reducing plastic and using kelp. And you just see his face light up, and he's like, 'Aren't they just the coolest? Aren't they just doing such a great job?...How awesome is that?'” Irwin shared.

“The dad that I had, the mum that I have guided me through life. You can't help but have a sense of eagerness to really continue their legacy,” he stated, referring to his late father, Steve Irwin, and mother, Terri Irwin.

Irwin also sees strong similarities between his own upbringing in a conservation-focused family. “I was born and raised and grew up in a family business and a family environment, you know, creating this amazing empire of conservation and positivity. And there is such a symmetry in what Prince William, the environment that he grew up in, how he traveled so much from such a young age and got to see wildlife around the world.
Robert, who has supported the Earthshot Prize for several years, feels like the future is in good hands. “I feel like it's a really special thing to be able to take all the experiences that you have in your life and inspire the next generation,” he said. “I think we got this. And I think the future's in really good hands.”
