William made the call from his home in Windsor, which he shares with his wife, the Princess of Wales, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

In the background of his shot was a large wooden unit that contained plenty of decorative items from china plates to a white ornament of a man riding a horse.

A painting could be seen hanging on a beige wall, and an empty armchair seemed to complete what is likely a study area inside the property.

Alongside the message, it was also confirmed by Kensington Palace that William had made a donation to the Australian Red Cross, who are helping the affected areas.

Back in 2020, William and wife Kate were reportedly due to fly out to Australia to visit coastal towns that had been affected by that year's bushfires.

The visit was called off in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

William and Kate's last visit to Australia was in 2014

The country holds a special significance in the royal couple's hearts as back in 2014 it was the first royal tour that they took Prince George on, back when he was just a one-year-old.

However, William and Kate might make their way to the country later this year. Although nothing official has been confirmed, Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, hinted this might be the case to ITV in an interview last year.

"There have  been some preliminary discussions about the now Prince and Princess of Wales visiting Australia," he said. "And, of course, the royal family have always been welcome visitors here in Australia and they would be again."
