In a television interview, the 33-year-old said he never used to be too worried about things “but now the smallest little things, you well up a little more.” He added he feels more affected by world events and now thinks about “the idea of not being around to see your children grow up.”

The ITV program, to be aired Monday in Britain, is about Prince Charles’ charity. It also features interviews with Charles and his wife Camilla.
