The Duke reveals that he hopes his son will follow his efforts in these fields.
Foster discussed the interview, stating, “I’ve never seen him so animated. We had lots of time with him and he was on great form. I’m thrilled with the interview.”
Whilst a spokeswoman for ITV added, “Prince William also talks about his love of Africa, his commitment to wildlife conservation and his hope that Prince George will one day share these passions. He explains the pivotal part that Africa has played in his life and reflects on continuing a royal legacy in the continent, building on his father’s conservation work and Princess Diana’s humanitarian campaigns.”
