Guests at the event were treated to several films highlighting the imperative nature of environmentalism.

The father-son outing comes after the release of William's episode of "The Reluctant Traveler," in which the prince, who is heir to the British throne, spoke with actor Eugene Levy about bringing change to the monarchy once he is king.

"I think it's safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good, and I embrace that, and I enjoy that change. I don't fear it," William said. 

He continued, "That's the bit that excites me, is the idea of being able to bring some change. Not overly radical change, but changes that I think that need to happen."
