Robert Irwin captured the hearts of fans with a touching moment shared with his niece, Grace, during Halloween celebrations. The wildlife advocate and television personality dressed as Prince Charming, while four-year-old Grace donned a Cinderella costume, creating a magical interaction that resonated with viewers.
In a video posted on social media, Robert, 22, revealed the story behind this enchanting encounter. He shared the details during an appearance on Kylie Kelce’s podcast, *Not Gonna Lie*. The interaction was particularly special as it took place while he was competing on *Dancing with the Stars*.
The preparation for the surprise began when Robert learned that Grace would be dressing as Cinderella. He coordinated with the show’s wardrobe team to create a Prince Charming outfit, which they accomplished just in time for Halloween. “I talked to the Dancing with the Stars wardrobe team, because they just had Disney night,” Robert explained. “I asked if they could get me or make me a Prince Charming outfit, and they did.”
Creating Lasting Memories
The anticipation leading up to the event was heightened by Bindi Irwin, Robert’s sister, who excitedly informed Grace about the surprise. “I remember I walked through the door in the full costume,” Robert recounted. “There she is in her Cinderella costume. It’s the first time ever I’ve seen her go all shy. And she says to me, ‘Oh my gosh, Uncle Robert, you’re Prince Charming.'”
The heartfelt exchange left many fans emotional. Comments flooded in, with one user stating, “His green flags could not get any greener,” while another remarked, “That’s a special core memory that both of them will never forget.” The sentiment resonated widely, with several fans expressing their own tears of joy over the moment.
After their charming dance, the duo continued their Halloween festivities by going trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, further adding to the sweetness of the evening.
A Family Bond Strengthened
Bindi expressed her gratitude for her brother’s thoughtful gesture, acknowledging the effort he put into creating a memorable experience for Grace. “Thank you for being such a wonderful uncle and brother and friend. We love you so much,” she said, highlighting the impact of Robert’s surprise. “You just made Grace’s entire year.”
As Robert continues to pursue his career, he has recently returned to Australia after competing in *Dancing with the Stars*. He has now embarked on a new adventure, heading to South Africa to film the latest season of *I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here*. Meanwhile, Bindi, her husband Chandler Powell, and Grace have settled back in Australia after cheering Robert on in Los Angeles.
