Princes William and Harry have revealed that Prince Charles once took them to pick up litter during a holiday in Norfolk.
The Prince of Wales, well known for his fervent interest in environmental causes, gave his sons steel spikes and black plastic bags and set them to work, reports The Daily Mail.
"He took us litter picking... Both of us thought, 'This is perfectly normal, everyone must do it'.
"We're there with our spikes stabbing the rubbish into black plastic bags," Prince William tells a BBC documentary to mark Charles's forthcoming 70th birthday.
He adds that his father lives "the way he advocates" when it comes to his environmental beliefs.
