The reports of strife in the British royal family have taken a turn for the better, or at least some of them. Last week, aides from King Charles and Prince Harry met is what is believed to be the first step for reconciliation between the father and son. And yet, Prince William's aides were not present, and the feud between the brothers seems to be holding strong, even though King Charles wants peace. So, is there any hope for the one super close brothers? For now, it seems like Prince William has found a new close friend. The Prince is said to have developed a friendship with Robert Irwin, and he is said to be eager to collaborate with him. Star reported that Prince William thinks Robert has the 'charisma, work ethic, and heart to truly inspire the next generation,' and that he has 'talked about filming a wildlife special' with Irwin to 'help further their shared mission of conservation.'

' Related: Here's what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth Irwin, the son of the late 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin, was named an ambassador for the Earthshot Prize, an annual award that celebrates contributions to environmentalism. The award is presented by Prince William's charity, The Royal Foundation. 'William has always been a huge fan of the Irwin family; he thinks they're absolutely first rate and really admires the way they've handled Steve's legacy and what they've built from it,' the source said. 'He and Robert met years ago and hit it off right away, so he's thrilled to be working with him on Earthshot. There's a real mutual respect and shared passion for conservation.' Furthermore, William reportedly thinks, 'the Irwins represent the kind of global, positive energy the monarchy needs more of, and he's eager to bring them further into the royal fold.' The so-called bromance between Irwin and Prince William first made headlines when Irwin appeared as a guest on the Tuesday, June 24, episode of Scott Mills' BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show. William had a warning for Scott. 'Just beware, Scott. Robert likes to pull random terrifying animals and creatures out of his pockets while he's on anyone's show and talking to them,' William said in jest. 'Just watch your back at all times [so] that a tarantula or something doesn't suddenly pop onto your desk.' Later, Irwin spoke about his relationship with Prince William with People. 'I talk to him about animals, and like, he is on it. He knows exactly what's going on. In most conversations I have with His Royal Highness, I learn something. I really do,' he said. 'It's this genuine sense of passion. I love that passion. Like that's what I seek. I seek out people that feel like kindred spirits, you know? So it's really awesome. Really is.' This is all coming after The Daily Beast reported that, according to a friend of William, 'He absolutely f—ing hates' his brother Harry, with the same source saying that, 'William will never, ever forgive Harry for what he has done. Charles is the king; he can do what he likes. But make no mistake: William believes with every fiber of his being that giving Harry and Meghan back any royal imprimatur is a huge mistake.' Looks like Prince William and Prince Harry won't be making up anytime soon. William has other people to talk to and lean on these days.

'It's almost revolting': Singapore's durian craze is not for all
When wildlife advocate Robert Irwin tried durian for the first time in Singapore a year ago, he called it the "most polarising food in the world". He might have a point. As durian season, which typically occurs between June and September, hits its peak and Singaporeans flock to satisfy their durian cravings, not everyone is sold on the king of fruits. "I don't hate it but it's not something I will want to have," 19-year-old polytechnic student, Mr Seah, told The New Paper: "I used to be quite fond of it but as I grow older, I find the smell to be quite unpleasant. It's so strong that it's almost revolting, and when people have it, it just fills the entire space with that pungent smell." He added: "If you paid me to eat it I think I would, but durian is not something I'll squeeze with people in queues for." On a Reddit thread detailing different durian varieties with over a hundred comments, some netizens shared similar sentiments. "I swear, I really tried, but as soon as I had a piece in my mouth and it was all creamy and tasted like carrion, I just could not bring myself to have it," said one. "Am I missing something crucial here? Because it was as horrendous in taste as in smell." Operations executive Fu Jia, 24, echoed this sentiment. "I dislike the smell of it in general, it smells so foul. My instinct when I see a durian stall is to avoid it or walk really fast if I have no choice but to go near it," she said. A shared experience for all But durian fanatics could care less about such misgivings. At Block 964 Jurong West Street 91, prices dip as low as $2 per durian, amid the hustle and bustle of the afternoon crowds and stall owners. Durian lovers flock to stalls offering low prices. PHOTO: SHIN MIN DAILY NEWS Durian stall vendor Cai Ming Hong (transliterated) noted that this year's durians are of excellent quality. He expects an even larger harvest by mid-July. His stall receives at least 5,000kg of durians daily, most of which sell out. The 26-year-old told Shin Min Daily News: "For example, the B-grade Musang King durians are now going for $12 per kg, and we're using premium durians from Pahang for our promotions. "A-grade ones are priced at $20 per kg and are of even better quality. Earlier batches had some weather-related issues, but the current supply tastes great across all varieties." There are also durian delivery services like Durian Delivery, while others opt to visit durian cafes. Durian vending machines, installed by local durian retailer Kaki Kaki, have even popped up in Tampines. So why do so many Singaporeans have such a fondness for the pungent delight? One Reddit poster suggested that it serves as a form of community building, creating shared experiences that bring people together. "It's a seasonal thing, so getting together to eat it is a cultural/social thing that has developed over the years. It's just another way to chill with friends and family." Another Redditor suggested that it is inextricably tied to national identity: "For a country as small as Singapore and only 50 years old, there's not much solid items of culture to look forward to. Especially because it's an amalgamation of other cultures like Chinese, Malay and Indian heritage. "Other than the practices belonging to those races, there's not much physical things Singapore can attribute its original culture to. And that's why we cling to the things we can define as Singaporean." While reactions remain varied, and sometimes even extreme, the durian continues to unite Singaporeans in the common experience of rushing to buy it - or avoiding it completely.
