Prince William delivered his first speech as heir to the British throne at a wildlife protection summit Tuesday.
Britain's Prince William speaks during the United for Wildlife Global Summit at the Science Museum in London, Tuesday, Oct. 4 2022. – Prince William delivered his first speech as heir to the British throne at a wildlife protection summit Tuesday, signaling that the royal family will continue to champion environmental causes as King Charles III is forced to step back from front-line campaigning.
William cited the recent conviction of a 49-year-old man on wildlife trafficking charges as an example of the way agencies are working across borders to tackle the problem. The conviction was the result of cooperation between authorities in Uganda and Kenya, as well as the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Justice Department said.
William’s speech came less than a month after he took on the role of heir to the throne as his father, now King Charles III, became monarch following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The choice of venue demonstrates that environmental protection will remain a royal priority, even though Charles is likely to step back from an issue he has championed for 50 years.
“It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply,” the new king said in his first address to the nation. “But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others.”
