William also organized the schoolchildren day as part of the Kinamba community project of the British Army Training Unit by distributing footballs. He also tried to score a blocked goal successfully! – and observed dance performances during his visit.
Speaking Tuesday in Namibia, William said that his wife, Kate Middleton, was "extremely jealous" and that she was not able to join him during the trip. And he joked: "In particular, I'm looking forward to some good, uninterrupted sheets this week, away from my wonderful kids."
On a more serious note, he took advantage of the speech delivered at the reception of the British High Commissioner to congratulate Namibia for joining the Commonwealth Clean Oceans Alliance and working on the reduction of plastics. William's visit is very conservation-oriented. "This is an issue that is close to my heart and I know that you are also deeply proud of it," he said.
Despite his wish to sleep well, William got up at 5 am on Tuesday and went out into the countryside of the Kunene region, finally discovering a mysterious black rhinoceros.
William has teamed up with Save The Rhino Trust and one of its oldest charities, Tusk Trust, as part of its United for Wildlife coalition to end wildlife crime. "That's why I wanted to come to Namibia – to listen and learn," he said in a statement. "This is also why Namibia's voice on these difficult issues at the next conference on the illegal wildlife trade in London in October is so important."
