Charles, who set up The Prince’s Trust in 1976 with the severance pay he received from the Royal Navy, said that getting the organisation up and running in the early days was the most difficult part, as he had to “overcome all these people who didn’t see the point.” However, with over 825,000 people assisted by The Trust in its four decades of operation, there most definitely was a point to the Prince’s idea to help the disadvantaged.
Among the things discussed in their segment, Prince William spoke of how becoming a father has made him more emotional: “I never used to get too wound up or worried about things. But now the smallest little things, you well up a little more, you get affected by the sort of things that happen around the world or whatever a lot more, I think, as a father. …you realise how precious life is and it puts it all in perspective. The idea of not being around to see your children grow up…”
Prince William swore on TV and, if anything, people like him more now https://t.co/BlAXgjSUIkpic.twitter.com/YGu7AnCcSl

The two brothers also praised their father’s work – as did the Duchess of Cornwall – before recalling funny moments from their childhood, particularly as Charles had a habit of laughing during the wrong moments of school productions, earning him ‘evil eyes’ from his sons on stage.
