William looked in high spirits today as he arrived in Namibia, after attending the wedding of Kate's close friend Sophie Carter in Norfolk on Saturday. 

He was greeted by Namibia's Deputy Minister of Environment and Tourism, Bernadette Jagger and the Minister for Environment and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta, right, at the old State House.

The Duke revealed he would be visiting Africa earlier this month, during his first speech as patron of the Royal African Society (RAS).  

Speaking at the reception in London, William - who took over the role from the Queen in December 2016 after 64 years, said 'Africa's wildlife is suffering as well as its people.

In return, William presented the Namibian vice-president with a photograph of the Queen with the country's first president, Sam Nujoma (above)

The Duke of Cambridge is known to be passionate about conservation efforts. He is pictured being presented with a rhino statue 

'Like so many others, I am deeply saddened by the numbers of elephant, rhino and pangolin who have been illegally slaughtered for their tusks, horns and scales. But the illegal wildlife trade also has a devastating human impact.

'Too many brave rangers are tragically killed each year by poachers. Communities see their tourist livelihoods threatened. And the proceeds of the illegal wildlife trade fund broader criminal networks and threaten security.'

He added: 'This is why I am committed to doing what I can to help end this terrible, global crime. 

'This will be a particular focus of my upcoming visit to Africa, and of course the conference on the illegal wildlife trade taking place here in London in October.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
