Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis came up with the perfect name for the newest addition at the Australia Zoo, Robert Irwin revealed.

"G'Day! It's Robert Irwin here with a couple of my mates. This is, of course, the icon of Australia, the kangaroo, and I'm very proud to announce that my friends, the Wales family, helped us to name our beautiful new joey," Irwin said in the video.
View this post on InstagramThe Dancing With the Stars winner called Cwtch “the absolute perfect name” because joeys “love a cuddle” and spend most of their time in their mother’s pouch. Of course, choosing a name in Welsh is a nod to their parents' titles of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
"I want to say a particular thank-you to Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte for your help in finding this one a brilliant name," Irwin said. “It is so important that we conserve all of our animals, including the icons, the kangaroos. These guys play a very important role in the Australian bush and out there in the ecosystem, they are just crucial.”

Robert called William, 43, a "kindred spirit," acknowledging that the future king's activism inspires his children.
"I think Prince William is certainly creating an amazing legacy for his kids and for an entire generation to take inspiration from, Robert told People in June 2025. “I have no doubt that they'll carry up that mission.”

He patronages champion sustainability, focusing on climate change, biodiversity, and regenerative agriculture.
During Charles’ state visit to the US in April, he visited Virginia's Shenandoah National Park, where they made him an honorary junior ranger.
Kirsten Talken-Spaulding, deputy regional director for the National Park Service, praised Charles, 77, for his decades of devotion and said, “The junior is not a title of age. It’s something everyone can aspire to and be a conservationist — much like the King himself.”
“He may not be a youngster, but he’s a most important man in the conservation world,” the director added.
