Robert Irwin’s Collaboration with Prince William and Princess Catherine
Robert Irwin has recently joined forces with Prince William and Princess Catherine for a special wildlife project, marking a significant step in his career. This partnership comes after he quietly distanced himself from Meghan Markle during her visit to Australia, highlighting the complex dynamics within the royal family.
Sources have revealed that the Duchess of Sussex was a fan of the Irwin family and had expressed interest in collaborating with them or involving her children in future wildlife initiatives. However, Robert politely declined during her visit with Prince Harry. According to our source, “They meant no ill will towards the Sussexes, but at the end of the day, they are all staunch monarchists and fiercely loyal to The Firm.”
On May 8, Robert took to Instagram to showcase his strong bond with the Prince of Wales. He introduced an eastern grey kangaroo joey named Cwtch and shared the significance behind the unique name. “Cwtch, which is Welsh for cuddle,” he said in the joint Instagram post with the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official account. “The absolute perfect name for a joey kangaroo, because at this age, they love a cuddle and spend most of their time inside that pouch with their mum.”
The collaboration received positive feedback from fans, with many expressing their delight. One comment read, “We need the Wales kids together with the Kangaroos.” Another fan wrote, “So sweet and the Wales children picked a great name!” A third added, “The collab I never knew I needed welcome, Cwtch!”
It has been over a decade since the Prince of Wales and Princess Catherine visited Australia. A source previously told New Idea that Robert is eager for them to return with their children. “William’s promised to bring the kids to the Irwin zoo one day, and Robert takes every opportunity to remind him of that,” the source said. The pair share a long-standing friendship, and Robert has served as an ambassador for the Earthshot Prize, which William founded.
Following Anthony Albanese’s invitation for William and Catherine to visit in 2025, there has been speculation about the couple considering another tour in Australia. One source mentioned that the visit was already being considered before Catherine’s diagnosis, but now that she is in the clear and has announced her first overseas outing, the trip could happen sooner than expected.
Robert Irwin’s recent post, titled “Robert Irwin sends a clear message he’s team William and Kate amid Meghan snub,” highlights his support for the royal couple. The article initially appeared on New Idea.
