Robert Irwin on Prince William: 'An environmental hero'

Robert Irwin says he loved getting the chance to work with Prince William and share their mutual passion for conservation.
The 21-year-old Australian recently teamed up with the heir to the British throne after he was was named a Global Ambassador for the Prince of Wales' Earthshot Prize.
"I think Prince William has been such an amazing person to work with, and there is such an incredible synergy between what he does and who he is and who we are," he told UsWeekly.
"It's all about conservation."
""I think it's wonderful that someone so influential - that has such a fantastic platform - is using that to really better our environment," he said.
"He is a true environmental hero, and so working with him has been a great privilege."
Irwin insists that everyone needs to "prioritise" the environment, saying William is "at the forefront" of that movement.
"We've definitely compared a lot of notes in the conservation space," he said.
"We need to prioritise taking care of our natural world. And he's really at the forefront of that.
"And plus, he's just a great guy. When you have a conversation with him, he's the most lovely, intelligent person to talk to and is just so easygoing, so much fun.
"And I love working with him. He's a really, really, really good guy."

‘Everyone wants a piece of Barry': Humphries' art hits auction highs

Two years after his death, the creator of Dame Edna and Sir Les Patterson can still pull a crowd and steal a show. Some 98 objects, mostly packed up from Barry Humphries' Sydney home, went under the hammer on Monday night in an Australian auction of his personal art which exceeded auction house Leonard Joel's most optimistic sale expectations. All up the Australian sale netted $477,112 including buyers' premium. 'He'd be saying, 'I told you I was good!', and he'd be planning an exhibition,' said son Oscar, from London as he watched the auction live. With his share of the proceeds, Oscar Humphries said he would frame works he held by his father and raised the idea of funding a comedy prize in Melbourne 'for people who are actually funny'. In 2019, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival stripped Barry Humphries's name from the festival's biggest award, following furore over the performer's comments about transgender people. 'If someone wants to match me we could talk,' said Oscar. 'We could recreate the Barry awards. I'm good for $50,000, but I have got to find a partner.' The opening lot at the auction was a framed watercolour and pen likeness by Humphries of his comic creation Dame Edna. It signalled the excitable buyer interest that was to come for works by the comic, selling for $17,000 under the hammer or $21,250 with buyers' premium. It had a top estimate before auction of $3000. Caricatures penned by Humphries while on the road in Australia, the US, Greece and elsewhere fetched several thousand dollars a piece.
