Yes, it's very nice to see him settling into what will be his role for some years to come.

""I am delighted to be visiting Namibia for the first time. I am only sorry my wife Catherine is not able to join me," Prince William said in a speech at a British High Commissioner’s reception in Windhoek today. "She is immensely jealous, particularly as I am looking forward to a few good, uninterrupted nights of sleep this week away from my wonderful children," he continued."

He also said that this was his first visit to nambidia and that kate has visited nambidia several times. Never knew that....So much we don't know about her or ever will.

That made me excited; I never heard him before refer to "my wife", that is so warm IMO.

The Duke of Cambridge, Tusk Patron, visited Mkomazi National Park to learn more about conservation efforts on the front line of a Tanzanian National Park.

Mkomazi Rhino Sanctuary is working to establish a viable breeding population of 50 black rhino, whose offspring will be used to reinforce existing populations in Tanzania. In 2012 The Duke of Cambridge visited black rhinos Grumeti and Zawadi before they were flown to Tanzania from the UK — At Mkomazi Rhino Sanctuary The Duke met Grumeti’s daughter Mobo.

During his visit to the Rhino Sanctuary, The Duke joined the team at Mkomazi to replace a security fence.

The Duke visited Mkomazi’s educational initiative at Rafiki Wa Faru, where children from 14 local villages learn all about rhinos and other wildlife — in the hope that Mkomazi’s rhino population will never again be wiped out by poachers. #EndWildlifeCrime

It would’ve been great if William was producing live YouTube or Twitter video feeds while checking on the rhinos and other wildlife on his conservation work.

He shoots, he scores....eventually!

Prince William struggles to score a goal playing football against the Irish Guards in Kenya's Nanyuki but makes friends with local school children.
