The conservationist Robert Irwin has received numerous congratulations after he and his dance partner Witney Carson recently won the current season of "Dancing with the Stars." Prince William and Kate Middleton also congratulated him on winning the Mirrorball trophy. The Prince and Princess of Wales commented on an Instagram video of Irwin with the words: "Congratulations, Robert and Whitney!" – accompanied by glitter and disco ball emojis. Prince William also recently made a surprise appearance on the show and wished Irwin good luck in a short video message. In the video, William noted that he was "missed" at the annual Earthshot Prize ceremony, for which Irwin serves as an ambassador. He also jokingly asked Irwin's dance partner to "cover him in as much glitter as possible." Irwin's win on "Dancing with the Stars" follows his older sister Bindi's win, who won the competition with her dance partner Derek Hough ten years earlier. Irwin explained that winning in the same show as Bindi means "everything" to him and that the show has "absolutely changed" his life.
