"The Prince of Wales has said that he fears leaving a &amp;quot;dysfunctional world&amp;quot; to his descendants. Speaking during an interview with ITV1&amp;#039;s This Morning due to air later on Monday, Prince Charles said that he wants to leave a positive legacy for his future grandchildren.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve gone on for years about the importance of thinking about the long term in relation to the environmental damage, climate change and everything else,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t, in a sensible world, want to hand on an increasingly dysfunctional world to our grandchildren, to leave them with the real problem. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to be confronted by my future grandchild and them say, &amp;#039;Why didn&amp;#039;t you do something&amp;#039;, so clearly now that we will have a grandchild, it makes it even more obvious to try and make sure we leave them something that isn&amp;#039;t a total poisoned chalice.&amp;quot;  Prince Charles&amp;#039;s oldest son Prince William is expecting his first child with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge later this year. The baby will be the Prince of Wales&amp;#039;s first grandchild. Prince Charles will appear on This Morning to launch the daytime programme&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;You Can Be Heroes&amp;#039; week, which celebrates the contributions of volunteers to the community.  &amp;quot;These sorts of occasions like the Olympics and the Jubilee bring out the best in people, and I do know from doing investitures on behalf of the Queen just how many wonderful people there are doing these remarkable things and volunteering the whole time in their own communities,&amp;quot; said the prince.  &amp;quot;A lot of people don&amp;#039;t realise how so many of these people keep the whole show on the road. There is something remarkable in this country, I think, about the volunteering spirit.&amp;quot; Prince Charles&amp;#039;s interview with This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will air in full on Monday morning (January 7).
