|Prince William is fighting for his children and the future generation to experience the wonders of the world's wildlife, a member of the Rolling Stones has said.
He said: "(Prince William is) hugely knowledgeable on the subject and committed to the cause, and I have a lot of respect for the way he uses his status and position for the greater good and to support wildlife."
The Rolling Stone star added during an interview with People: "He’s a strong advocate for Tusk and the wider conservation community, and we share a common belief that our children and future generations deserve to experience the wonders of the world’s wildlife like we have."
In November last year, the Prince of Wales attended the 2024 Tusk Conservation Awards at London's prestigious Savoy Hotel.
The future King was greeted by Tusk founder Charlie Mayhew upon arrival and was seen beaming as he welcomed guests.
