(CNN) -- Prince William has given his first official interview to CNN since his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to their first child.
The future king of Britain sat down with CNN's Max Foster to talk about baby George, his wife Catherine, and what it's like to be a new father.
A portion of the interview will air on CNN on Monday, August 19 at 8:00 a.m. ET.
The interview is part of a one-hour special, "Prince William's Passion: New Father, New Hope," which will premiere on CNN and CNN International on Sunday, September 15 at 10:00 p.m. ET.
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, depart St. Mary's Hospital with their newborn son on Tuesday, July 23, in London. The boy was born at 4:24 p.m. Monday, weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces. 
Catherine holds the baby outside the hospital for the public's first view. 
The new parents stand in front of the Lindo Wing of the hospital. 
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "Mother, son and father are all doing well this morning." 
Catherine hands the baby off to William. 
The couple is "still working on a name," William said, "so we'll have that as soon as we can." But he added, "He's got her looks, thankfully." 
"It's very special," said William. The prince has already changed his first diaper, the couple told reporters. 
The new parents leave the hospital Tuesday evening with William carrying the boy out in a car seat and installing him in the back of a black SUV for the trip to Kensington Palace. 
The newborn sits in his car seat for the ride home. 
Prince William gets ready to depart St. Mary's Hospital. 
Catherine waves to the crowd gathered outside the hospital. 
Well-wishers see the royal couple off after getting a glimpse of the newest heir to the British throne.

The special chronicles the prince's passion for Africa and his dream to save the world's most endangered species.
As a new father, the prince discusses his hope that one day his son can experience the same Africa that he and Prince Harry did as young boys.
CNN's Max Foster said: "Big royal interviews don't happen overnight and if you're lucky, they come through and at just the right time. For a long while, I have wanted to speak to Prince William about the cause closest to his heart, African conservation, and I've been in contact with his office for more than two years about making it happen."
"Of course I had to ask him about becoming a dad for the first time as well. I think you will be struck by how natural he is, passionate, frank and happy. So many parents will relate to what he's saying. William isn't just a big star, he is set to become head of state in 16 countries and here he is talking about his own successor for the very first time. It's an historic moment and I am thrilled he agreed to speak to me."
Britain's royal family has worked on conservation in Africa for generations. In the one-hour TV special William tells CNN how his love of Africa and its endangered species were instilled in him by his father, Prince Charles, and late mother Princess Diana.
The prince also highlights some of the work being done by individuals in the area of conservation including Tusk, an organization for which he and Prince Harry are both patrons.
