IN LONDON
The Prince and Princess of Wales have publicly celebrated Robert Irwin’s Dancing With The Stars US victory with a sweet nod on social media.
On Wednesday, the Aussie wildlife warrior, 21, shared a video on Instagram of himself celebrating the win with his pro partner, Witney Carson, and captioned it: “Dreams do come true.”
The royal couple used their official account to congratulate the pair, writing: “Congratulations Robert and Witney!”

Irwin is the second in his famous conservationist family to win the mirrorball trophy, with sister Bindi also taking out top spot back in 2015.
While celebrating, Irwin paid tribute to his older sibling, saying that following in her footsteps meant “everything to him.”
“To follow in those footsteps and to do the same has meant everything to me,” he told People after the finale. “This has absolutely changed my life.”

Meanwhile, it’s not the first time William has offered up support for his Aussie pal, who is also an ambassador for his high-profile Earthshot Prize initiative.
Earlier this month, he appeared on the dancing competition series in the form of a video message sent to Irwin ahead of one of his performances.
It was filmed while the prince was in Brazil for his environmental awards. Irwin was scheduled to be there with him, but had to cancel due to his successful ongoing run on DWTS.
The prince told Irwin he missed him, calling him “twinkle toes” and telling him: “I need you down here!”
In their video call, William told Irwin: “You guys have got a serious good chance of winning … best of luck on the show.”
After it ended, a visibly shocked Carson told her dance partner she “[couldn’t] believe he just said my name”, while Irwin joked that now they’d better “not mess this up”.
