Prince William's Guardians Docuseries Nominated for Rockie Award

On March 25, Prince William's DocuSeries, Guardians has earned a nomination for a Rocky Award at the Banff World Media Festival in Canada.

The six-part BBC Earth Series, produced with the Royal Foundation and Partners, shines a light on wildlife rangers battling poaching and habitat loss.

It's up for best, short-form, non-fiction series at the prestigious event.

The festival happens every year in Banff, Alberta, and honors top global TV and digital content across dozens of categories.

This year's ceremony is set for Tuesday, June 16, 2026, hosted at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.

Whether Prince William can make it there remains up in the air.

Just three days earlier, on June 13, he'll have key duties at trooping the color as Colonel of the Welsh Guards, riding in the procession.

His birthday and father's day land on June 21, only five days after.

He's shown strong support for rangers through United for Wildlife, launching a five-year program in 2024.

It offers life insurance, medical evacuations, and training to 10,000 rangers in Africa, with over 6,000 already covered in expansion too.

Brazil, as Guardians' eyes more acclaim, it highlights the Prince's push to protect these frontline heroes and curb wildlife threats worldwide.
