Prince William forced to take ‘drastic action’ over Prince Louis’ noisy hobby

Prince William has revealed Prince Louis’ new hobby, which has led him to take drastic action at home.

The Prince of Wales let slip his youngest son’s new past time while attending the Tusk Awards at London’s Savoy Hotel, where he rubbed shoulders with Rolling Stones icon Ronnie Wood and Dire Straits guitarist Mark Knopfler. During a pre-awards reception, William told the pair that there “is a lot of creativity here” and joked they had enough to start a band. And then he revealed that his six-year-old Louis has his own musical aspirations and is learning to play the drums – joking it leaves him having to stick his fingers in his ears.
He told the rockers: “My youngest is learning the drums, that’s why I spend my entire life with my fingers in my ears.” He went on to say: “I’m interested in different eras of music” and “music is such an important part of my life.”

Later, during the awards, William talked about his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Louis again when he said: “I want my children to live in a world where swallows still migrate, gorillas still live in the cloud forests of Uganda and rhinos still roam the arid rangelands of Namibia.”

William also presented the Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa to Nomba Gname, The Tusk Award for Conservation in Africa to Edward Aruna and the Tusk Wildlife Ranger Award to Claver Ntoyinkima – who works for Prince Harry’s Africa Parks.

Prince William says he wants his three children to live in a world where incredible wildlife exists
During his keynote speech, the future king said: “Tonight is a reminder that our planet continues to face terrifying environmental concerns from climate change and habitat destruction to the exploitation of natural resources and an alarming downward trend in global biodiversity.

“Rainforests the size of countries are disappearing. And one million species are at risk of extinction mostly due to human activity. Now is the time to support those globally who work to prevent future generations from becoming disconnected from nature, we must invest in the natural world around us and understand the value it has for us all, both now and in the future.

“That is why the insight and knowledge of the award winners tonight is so important. They should guide and inspire us all to drive change.”

In Cape Town earlier this month, where he was promoting and hosting his Earthshot Prize environmental awards now in its fourth year, William launched a live insurance programme which will be rolled out across Africa and benefit thousands of rangers bravely protecting wildlife.

William added: “That is why the insight and knowledge of the award winners tonight is so important. They should guide and inspire us all to drive change. They remind us of the importance of living at peace with nature. This is why it is so crucial that we do everything in our power to support the individuals who protect the natural world.
This has come into even sharper focus over the past two years, following the murder of Anton Mzimba in South Africa. Anton was assassinated in his home for doing his job protecting the incredible biodiversity of his country. And globally, 1400 rangers have been killed in the past decade.

“The sobering Roll of Honour that we saw earlier recognises the Rangers who lost their lives and serves as a reminder of the ultimate price paid by too many on the frontline of conservation.”
