Prince William has opened up about the unusual hobby he and his brother Prince Harry took up while on holiday with their father Prince Charles.
The Duke of Cambridge spoke candidly of the holidays he shared with his dad and brother, now the Duke of Sussex.
While on one school holiday he revealed Prince Charles took the two boys “litter picking”.
The comments are made in a new BBC documentary marking Prince Charles’ 70th birthday.
William and Harry thought it was normal to be given spikes and black plastic bags as teenagers and encouraged to clear up other people’s rubbish.
Charles is well known for his campaigning to protect the rain forests, save endangered species from extinction and combat the threat of climate change.
“He [Charles] took us litter picking, when we were younger, on holiday. We were in Norfolk on school holidays, and went out litter picking with him … Both of us thought ‘This is perfectly normal, everyone must do it’,” William reveals.
“We’re there with our, basically, spikes, stabbing the rubbish into black plastic bags.”
