<p>Prince William has broken royal fan's hearts with the latest story about his seven-year-old son Prince George.</p>
<p>Prince William revealed that Prince George got so sad while watching a documentary by Sir David Attenborough about the extinction of animals that they had to turn it off.</p>
<p>The Duke of Cambridge said George said to him: “I don’t want to watch this anymore,” <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12875493/prince-george-sad-watching-extinction-documentary/" target="_blank" class="editor-rtflink"><em>The Sun</em></a> reports.</p>
<p>“The most recent one, the extinction one, George and I had to turn it off, he got so sad about it.</p>
<p>“He said, ‘I don’t want to watch this anymore, why has it come to this?’</p>
<p>“He’s seven-years-old and he’s asking these questions. He feels it.”</p>
<p>Prince William spoke to <em>Sky News </em>to mark the launch of his environmental Earthshot Prize and said that his children usually love watching Sir David Attenborough's <em>A Life On Our Planet</em> documentaries, but this one was too much.</p>
<p>The dad-of-three said he had struggled with staying optimistic about the future of the environment, adding: “I think, to be perfectly honest, I’m struggling to keep the optimism levels going with my own children, and that’s really kind of like, an understanding moment.</p>
<p>“Where you kind of look at yourself and go, ‘Am I doing enough on this, are we really at this stage in life when I can’t be hugely optimistic and pleased that my children are getting so into nature?</p>
<p>“Because you kind of worry and dread they’re soon going to realise that we are in a very, very dangerous and difficult time in the environment and that as a parent, you feel you’re letting them down immediately.”</p>
<p>The sweet story comes after a video of the Cambridge children asking Sir David Attenborough questions about the environment, with Prince George asking which creature would become extinct next.</p>

<p>Sir David Attenborough assured him that we could act to save endangered species from becoming extinct.</p>
<p>The Earthshot Prize will hand over $1.81 million each year for a decade to five winners who build innovative projects that are designed to save the planet.</p>
<p>This can include green businesses, cities or even planet-saving people movements.</p>
<p>Speaking this morning, Prince William said we had 10 years to “fundamentally fix our planet”.</p>
<p>“This is me putting my stamp on what I can do in my position to really galvanise and increase the interest and tackle some of these issues and drive a decade of change to help repair the planet,” Prince William told <em>Sky News.</em></p>
