" Growing up both of my parents were hugely charitable." Prince William stated as per The Independent. " My father set up the Prince's Trust. He's involved in so many different organizations. My mother has done her work with homelessness, and as you said AIDs and other charities, and I think I've grown up in a household which has been very much a case of 'well, we're very lucky – you must give back.'

The Duke of Cambridge also took the opportunity to pay tribute to his grandparents Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh Phillip. The Prince expressed his admiration for the Queen, saying she managed to change the dynamics of what was a "man's world" at the time of her coronation when she was just 25 years old. 

"My grandmother becoming Queen at a very young age, in the days when it was a man’s world, it was very difficult for her to make a difference – and she’s done it in her own very unique, distinct way."

He also went on to praise his grandfather, saying the two together are "the epitome of public service."
