Prince William was all smiles as he arrived at this evening's annual Tusk Awards to honour wildlife protectors.
The Duke of Cornwall is a patron of the Tusk Conservation Awards and helped launch the awards in 2013.
Tonight, the dad-of-three wore a black tuxedo with a poppy on his lapel as he welcomed guests to Hampton Court Palace.
The Prince of Wales, 40, is at the prestigious event tonight with award winners from across Africa.
One guest of honour is Benson Kanyembo, who is Law Enforcement Advisor at Conservation South Luangwa in Zambia, which helped to reduce elephant mortality rates by 66 per cent between 2018 to 2020.
Another is the Head of Anti-Poaching at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya Edward Ndiritu, who has maintained a poaching level of near zero for seven years in the Lewa region.
It comes as The Crown has ignored Prince William's pleas not to exploit his mother Diana's bombshell BBC Panorama interview.
The hit Netflix show will return with series five next week and will charter the Prince and Princess of Wales's marriage collapse and the pressure this puts on the monarchy.
It will have two episodes leading up to Princess Diana's now infamous chat with Martin Bashir in 1995, with bosses deciding to cut the original four minutes they had filmed of the interview down to just 23 seconds, according to reports.
Diana's tell-all interview was watched by an estimated 200 million people and became one of the most talked about moments of the 20th century.
The Crown has come under fire amid reports the language and conversation have been exaggerated for TV screens.
Diana's friend Ingrid Seward, who is editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, told The Sun : "William will be furious. He said his piece when he said it should never be aired again.
"This is his mother and her memory they are doing this too. It must be very frustrating as he can’t say anymore because it will just give Netflix more publicity.
"They should have listened to him. The interview has no credibility after the investigation. Everyone knows it has no legitimacy now."
A spokesperson for Netflix told The Mirror: "Season 5 of The Crown will dramatise events surrounding the Panorama interview, given the pivotal part it played during the time period the series covers.
"It will reflect what we now know about how the interview was obtained and how Diana was treated. The interview is not recreated in full."
