It’s an old story, but Prince William’s relationship with Jecca Craig, the daughter of a Zimbabwean businessman, still makes international news.

It is now being reported that William has decided to become Royal Patron of the African conservation programme, Tusk Trust. According to the Daily Mail, the charity donates £25,000 (GBP) to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a project run by Jecca’s family.

William stayed at the family’s Kenyan estate last July with girlfriend Kate Middleton. Chief Executive of the Trust, Charlie Mayhew, said: “We have supported Lewa for ten years, and even donated a couple of rhino to the sanctuary.”

William’s connection with Jecca won’t go away until she herself moves on to pastures new.
