Prince William and Charles to tackle wildlife trade


Britain’s Prince Charles and Prince William are planning on tackling the illegal wildlife trade.

The Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge will team up for a series of events which take place throughout February as part of a week-long awareness campaign in London.

A joint video message will be released on February 9 where they will discuss their concerns in a bid to help protect animals.

Following this, on February 12 the younger royal will make an appearance at the United for Wildlife Symposium at the Zoological Society before attending a reception at the National History Museum.

William and Charles will attend the London Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade on February 13 which will be hosted at Lancaster House in the West End.

The pair have recently been busy with other commitments.

William is currently studying a 10-week agriculture course at Cambridge University which is designed to prepare him for the day he inherits the vast Duchy of Cornwall estate.

Meanwhile, Charles visited the ravaged county of Somerset, South West England yesterday (04.02.14) where he pledged his financial support through the Prince’s Countryside Fund charity, donating £50,000 to aid flood victims.
