Prince Charles has revealed told how his grandson Prince George is learning about climate change as he introduced a documentary ahead of Cop26.
The Prince of Wales, 72, appeared in the new The Sky Kids Original documentary Cop26: In Your Hands, and explained his eldest grandson, eight, has been learning global warming is causing 'the big storms, and floods, the droughts, fires and food shortages' around the world.
During the clip, Charles added: 'When I was his age, people had no idea about the damage they were doing, but by the time I was a teenager I started to see that if we didn't stop polluting our planet, we would face a very dangerous future indeed.'
The royal's comments come after it was revealed Charles has written the foreword for a new children's book about global warming.
