At yesterdays Tusk Awards Prince William shared a funny detail about his family life - his youngest son is taking drum lessons which makes him keep his fingers in his ears most times
During the event at Savoy Hotel Prince William had a chat with two 77-year old rock legends: Ronnie Wood from Rolling Stones and Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits (both known for supporting wildlife protection). Knopflerʼs guitar auction brought in £600‚000 for the charity; while Woods gorilla statue now sits in his garden
The conservation event brought up important talks about rare animals: there are only hundred bongo antelopes left in wild which made Prince William point out how people dont realize their rarity. He spoke about making sure next generations stay connected to nature – discussing his wish for his kids to see gorillas in Uganda and rhinos in Namibia just like he did
