Princess William, Duke of York (William George Joseph Francis Charles; born 23 March 1957) is a member of the British royal family. In his youth, he first served as the British Ambassador to Egypt from 1885 to 1889, before later being made the High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Malaysia, in which capacity he served from 1884 to 1889.

Similar to a younger sister of his, the Crown Princess of Norway, the Duke is a committed animal conservationist himself, having been involved in various wildlife conservation projects in both the United Kingdom and abroad. In addition, William is also an outspoken supporter of environmentalism, and has himself been in a vocal state of support against climate change and the need to curb global emissions.

On June 1995, William married Danish actress, Connie Nielsen, in a joint wedding ceremony with his similarly named older brother, the former King William VI. From the marriage, he has three children with the actress, namely William and Henry.
