Prince Harry joined the British and the royal family in honoring an important figure through a heartfelt message.
For the uninitiated, broadcasting legend and conservationist Sir David Attenborough celebrates his centenary today, May 8.
He has been receiving warm wishes from the UK and around the world.
One of those greetings came from Montecito. King Charles’ youngest son recognized the efforts made by Sir David for a better environment.
writing in Time Magazinesaid Harry, “Sir David Attenborough is more than a broadcaster; he is a secular saint.”
The Duke of Sussex added: “He is an institutional pillar as essential to the national fabric as a cup of tea.
“Their near-whispers have been the soft soundtrack of home: a shared experience that turned the weekend’s nature documentary into a national ritual.”
Archie and Lilibet’s father praised Sir David for showing the world that our environment is worth appreciating through his lens.
Praising his “measured demeanor and lack of any conceivable agenda,” Harry called the natural historian “a man who has literally seen it all.”
“He concluded his message by expressing gratitude to Sir David for spending his entire life providing information and facts with patience, honesty and wonder.”
“The question now is whether those with the power to act will choose to lead before more of our world, our life support system, is lost,” Harry asked.
Importantly, the Prince of Wales also appeared in a new video, wishing Sir David a very happy birthday.
The future King said: “Thank you so much for all your support with the Earthshot Prize and everything you do continues to inspire me.”
