The Prince of Wales has disclosed that the prospect of becoming a grandfather has reinforced his environmental beliefs because he does not want to hand on an increasingly dysfunctional world.
The Prince, an outspoken campaigner on environmental issues, told ITVs This Morning that he did not want the Duke and Duchess of Cambridges child, due to be born this summer, to ask him why he had not done more to tackle issues like climate change.
Charles has been a strong advocate of taking action to protect the environment for many years. In 2007 he set up The Princes Rainforest Group to find a solution to save the worlds threatened forests. He addressed a UN international climate summit in Copenhagen in 2009 and the following year he gave a keynote speech to the Oslo Climate and Forest Conference.

Meanwhile, Charles the moonbat has a carbon footprint bigger than Algore’s a$$.
Some have theorized that he isn't.
Please strike already or at least dig up Merlin and have him perform some kewel tricks or sorcery...
I actually pray Her Majesty outlives him, so the Crown can pass directly to William.
ROTFL.
He married Horse Face.
I can’t stop laughing at that picture of Chas. TOO FUNNY.
He’s such a dolt.
“Prince Charles, on the other hand, seems to have an IQ of about 50. Hes never done anything sensible in his life, as far as I can see.”
Tidbit from Wiki:
Military training and career
Following royal tradition, Charles served in the navy and air force. After requesting and receiving Royal Air Force training during his second year at Cambridge, on 8 March 1971 he flew himself to the Royal Air Force College Cranwell to train as a jet pilot. Following the passing-out parade that September, he embarked on a naval career, enrolling in a six-week course at the Royal Naval College Dartmouth and then serving on the guided missile destroyer HMS Norfolk (19711972) and the frigates HMS Minerva (19721973) and HMS Jupiter (1974). He also qualified as a helicopter pilot at RNAS Yeovilton in 1974, just prior to joining 845 Naval Air Squadron, operating from HMS Hermes. On 9 February 1976, he took command of the coastal minehunter HMS Bronington for his last ten months serving actively in the navy. He learned to fly on a Chipmunk basic pilot trainer, a BAC Jet Provost jet trainer, and a Beagle Basset multi-engine trainer; he then regularly flew the Hawker Siddeley Andover, Westland Wessex and BAe 146 aircraft of The Queen’s Flight.
That section of the Wikipedia article is unsourced, incidentally.
You cannot take seriously the words of a man with no chin....
Dear God I SERIOUSLY pray for the Queen’s Health and an extremely long life. Charles must not become King. I hope and pray that William does not inherit his father’s stupidity...so far he has not, but God only knows what could happen later. We must not have Charles as King no matter what.
George III was a despot; Charles 2.5 has proven himself an idiot more than once.
A certain village is not missing its king...
As it says, that was the royal tradition. The Prince of Wales HAS to serve in the military, qualified or not. I wouldn’t trust Wikipedia too far on this. But also, he was a young man then, not yet well known, and I’m sure that his superior officers gave him ever break and benefit of the doubt if they discovered he was pretty hopeless. They wouldn’t put him into combat like that, but they also wouldn’t undermine the heir to the throne by speaking too frankly.
Helicopter pilot? How much did he do, and how much did his copilot-trainer do? Who knows? He never served in real active duty, like Prince Harry, so far as I know.
That’s one of ‘em, and I found that in different places — the one I remember that I can’t find is one where he’s in this type of get-up (maybe the same clothes, on the same visit) and doing one of his favorite things, planting a tree (that’s the one thing Dumbo does that I quite like), as the other dress-wearing muzzies stand around watching.
