Prince William has revealed that legendary nature broadcaster David Attenborough was the inspiration behind his upcoming series about wildlife rangers. The prince explained that the show aims to carry forward Attenborough’s legacy by highlighting the vital work of those protecting nature.

Editor’s Note: It’s not every day you hear a royal crediting a TV icon for shaping their work—especially when it’s about something as urgent as conservation. William’s nod to Attenborough adds weight to the series, signaling that it’s more than just another celebrity project. Given the prince’s growing role in environmental advocacy, this could help spotlight rangers’ often-overlooked efforts in a way that resonates with a broad audience.
