This morning, a new interview with Prince William was made available to the general public. The topic: what the Prince thinks about the illegal trade of rhino horns.

Apparently, this blue-blooded soon-to-be monarch is as green as his father when it comes to protecting the natural world.

Thus, as the royal patron of the Tusk Trust, an organization that protects African Wildlife, Prince William believes that those who poach rhinos in order to get their horns are “extremely ignorant,” “selfish,” and “wrong, totally and utterly wrong.”

His indignation stems from the fact that rhinos are most often poached because it is believed that their horns hold a cure from cancer and have many other health benefits.
