Sir David Attenborough, 99 years old. Prince William's father, now King Charles, has to be very careful about what he says on this kind of issue
0:08
But of course, he was pretty controversial in the past, wasn't he, on his views on climate change and the like
0:13
Is this a situation where the baton is well and truly now being handed over to Prince William on issues like climate change and sustainability
0:21
Yes, you're absolutely right, Cameron. and the baton has been handed over
0:26
and William has now become Sir David Atterbury's sorcerer's apprentice. No doubt about that
0:33
You just mentioned that Sir David is 99. William's only 42. There is over a 50-year gap
0:39
and this is the baton being handed over, and William is very passionate
0:43
He has credited Sir David for giving him the impetus to step into the environmental argument
0:52
And I saw that video yesterday and it a lovely little video and I encourage everyone to have a look at it It a very serious video but it got some fun times where Sir David relates how he almost died in a faulty original diver helmet and
1:09
you know William burst out laughing as you do because of the way that Sir David told the story
1:14
but there is a very important message that both men are sending out that we really have to take
1:21
care of our oceans. And as you quite rightly say, you know, William's having a, you know
1:26
a day in Monaco and when he's going to deliver a very, very big and major speech
1:32
Yeah, the two men clearly get on. They've known each other for quite some time, haven't they
1:36
Yes, yes, they have. They have a deep, deep respect for each other. I mean, I should imagine
1:41
that, you know, both of them, if you sat down with them, they would be really easy to get on
1:47
with and you could have a really decent conversation about a wide range of matters
1:52
I mean, Sir Dave has been, as we've just said, Sir Dave has been around for a very, very long
1:56
time, you know, and William is learning at the master's feet
