In the heartwarming segment, Harry, 39, explained how he adopted his father's habit of picking up litter. "I used to get taken the mickey out of at school for just picking up rubbish," he revealed, before adding: "I didn't go out consciously looking for it. If you go for a walk somewhere and see something and it stands out, you pick it up."

Echoing his brother's words, William said: "We both just thought: 'Oh well this is perfectly normal, everyone must do it'."
