Prince William might want to think twice about letting Prince George watch the new David Attenborough documentary tonight (January 9) after the last one left the youngster very upset.

William admitted that mid-way through the show George asked if he could stop watching because it was too upsetting.
“He said actually: ‘I don’t want to watch it anymore. Why has it come to this?’ He’s seven years old and he’s asking these questions.”
“He feels it and I think every seven year old out there can relate to that.
“So from an emotional point of view every parent wants to do the best for their children and I think we have to have a decade of change.
“A decade of repairing the planet so we can hand it on to the next generation and future generations and sustain the prosperity for their lives too,” he added.

Sir David, 94, replied: “
