Prince William made an unexpected appearance on Dancing With the Stars to cheer on Australian conservationist Robert Irwin. But how do they even know each other?
During the 11 November 2025 episode of Dancing With the Stars, Robert Irwin, 21, was preparing for a foxtrot routine with his professional dance partner, Witney Carson, when an unexpected message interrupted rehearsal. To his astonishment, the Prince of Wales appeared on screen, offering warm encouragement ahead of the competition. William wished him 'the best of luck' and playfully told Witney to 'get him in as much glitter as you can'.
