And I thought: &#8216;Urgh today&#8217;s the day it&#8217;s happened. My goodness&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So she [my mother] went outside to address them and their long lenses and I snuck out to go the other way. And it turned out the men with the long lenses were actually not there for me at all. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were there for a very, very rare bird, which is called a red kite. And they were trying to basically break into my back garden because they thought that one of these red kites was in our backyard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nEmma went on to reveal she let the group of birdwatchers into the garden so they could attempt to photograph the rare bird.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;Conservationists have managed to bring them [red kites] back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe event was held on behalf of the Royal Foundation\u2019s United for Wildlife program and the Prince of Wales also made a speech in which he urged global business leaders to do more to help the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;You have the power to influence, your voice matters in your business, your direction matters and here more than anything, your leadership matters.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Many of you can be more ambitious and courageous in what you do for the planet and for the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Be the leader you wanted to be when you were growing up, not the one you are in the business right now. Touch into what you were when you were a child and what you wanted to see the world, and bring those values to light as a CEO.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;More specifically, technology and innovation, we are seeing such a change in that, please embrace that for good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/emma-watson-mistook-birdwatchers-paparazzi-1446377.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 June 2026 Emma Watson once mistook a group of birdwatchers for paparazzi.
