“I think my family has naturally had an opportunity here to support and to be a part of the environmental debate for a long time because it’s been at the forefront of a lot of conversations and a lot of issues for many, many years and people have talked about it for a long, long time. But we need the action now and that’s what these next 10 years is about” - The Duke of Cambridge says the royal family has been part of the environmental debate for a long time as he appeared on a climate change podcast.
