Prince Georgethe farmer!
“I should have brought George today,” the Duke of Cambridge, 37, said while speaking with farmer Mervyn Keeling in the clip, according toTown and Country. “He would be absolutely loving this… He’s obsessed.”
It’s not just George, either. “My children are already, you know, playing on the tractors,” William added, ofPrincess Charlotte, 4,Prince Louis, 1. “It’s so important to get outside, and have the children understand nature.”
William was visiting the vast Dutchy estate that he’ll inherit on day when his father,Prince Charles, becomes King (and he, in turn, becomes the Duke of Cornwall).
Keeling has worked on the farm for his entire life, and told William he’s keen for the next generation to have a “good opportunity” to do the same.
“I think it’s really important, Mervyn, about the family angle,” William agreed. “I really do.”

It is now a business empire that includes property in London and more than 130,000 acres of land — with 160 miles of British coastline — in 23 counties of England and Wales.
Previously, PEOPLE reported that William said in the documentary that he has “started to think about how I will inherit the Duchy one day.”
The royal, who has a home in the country and has a keen connection with farming, won’t be making major changes. “Rest assured I’m not going to rock the boat,” he said. “I’ll do much the same as what my father’s doing. I’m not so into the architecture — that’s the only thing.”

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, sid on the show: “It’s not just a business – it encompasses everything he is passionate about, you know, it’s the environment, it’s sustainability, it’s looking after the land, which I think it’s generations of families who I think feel sort of looked after and cared for, and I think he minds desperately about that.”
