Prince William has revealed that Prince George was so upset watching the new David Attenborough documentary, the pair had to switch it off.
The Duke of Cambridge revealed his seven-year-old son's reaction while launching his Earthshot Prize — a new environmental award.
The father-of-three said his eldest son while watching the film on extinction told him, "I don't want to watch this anymore."
"The most recent one, the extinction one, George and I had to turn it off, he got so sad about it," Prince William told ITV News.
"He said 'I don't want to watch this anymore, why has it come to this?'
"He's seven years old and he's asking these questions. He feels it."
The 38-year-old royal also spoke about how he is carrying on the family legacy with both his grandfather, Prince Philip, and father, Prince Charles, who pioneered environmental work in the past.
"My grandfather started doing stuff with conservation a long time ago, WWF particularly," William told CNN.
"My father was ahead of his time talking about climate change. I don't want to be ahead of my time because then we're already too late — now is the time to act."
Today, the Duke announced the star-studded council (including Cate Blanchett, Shakira and Queen Rania of Jordan) that will help select winners of the annual prizes.
Beginning in 2021, five recipients will be awarded £1 million ($1.8 million) across key "earthshots", including: protecting and restoring nature, cleaning the air, reviving oceans, building a waste-free world or fixing the climate.
"I felt very much that there's a lot of people wanting to do many good things for the environment and what they need is a bit of a catalyst, a bit of hope, a bit of positivity that we can actually fix what's being presented," Prince William said in a statement announcing the historic prize.
"And I think that urgency with optimism really creates action. And so The Earthshot Prize is really about harnessing that optimism and that urgency to find solutions to some of the world's greatest environmental problems."
"We believe that this decade is one of the most crucial decades for the environment and by 2030 we really hope to have made huge strides in fixing some of the biggest problems the Earth faces."
