The Prince of Wales says he believes he has been placed on Earth as future King for a purpose - to save the world.
Giving a fascinating insight into his view of his inherited wealth and influence, he said: I can only somehow imagine that I find myself being born into this position for a purpose.
I dont want my grandchildren or yours to come along and say to me, Why the hell didnt you come and do something about this? You knew what the problem was. That is what motivates me.
I wanted to express something in the outer world that I feel inside... We seem to have lost that understanding of the whole of nature and the universe as a living entity.
His impassioned comments come during a film about his belief that unbridled commerce has led to the destruction of farmland and countryside.
The documentary, called Harmony, is due to be aired on the U.S. network NBC in November to coincide with the launch of a book of the same name by the prince.
Charles is understood to have waived his authors fee, and all royalties will go to his charity, the Princes Trust.

Given the longevity of the late queen mother, how old will Charles be when Elizabeth II is 102?
I don't think the princes are all that bad off...
“Charles the Insipid, Defender of the Faithless”
Or, at least, one day longer than Chuckie...
Pardon me, ma’am... but I am ROTFLMAO!
Please don't give him any fresh ideas...
So when he says that he was "born with a purpose," you can rest assured that his purpose, once revealed, will be an inspiration to us all.
LOL
Are you saying cheating is ok if you aren’t getting along with your wife?
“What if you have nothing in common with her? What if you can hardly hold a conversation?”
Then don’t marry her.
Extreme power can be used for good or ill; it all depends on the person weilding it.
So long as the person weilding it recognizes God at the center of everything, and puts God's wishes first, that power can be used for great good.
Far too often, it's not.
How about just dying and save us from your bullshit!
fine, but what does beauty have to do with it?
not at all. I’m saying that physical beauty is not the determinant in what will make a marriage work.
Never. Abdicatin has occurred only twice since 1066.
The Queen will be 102 if she lives that long in 2028. Charles currently is 61 so he will be 79 or 80 that year.
I have read about his young life, but that part of it was pretty brief compared to what he has been doing since his twenties which is mostly the role of well-to -do prince. I don’t begrudge anyone for living the good life if they can afford it, heck, I would have a grand ole time if I had his wealth, but sometimes, I think, when you can afford so much without any sweat, it makes a lesser man. Sweating it out financially at some point in your life-even briefly, can make one a stronger and better person- in my opinion.
Not inherently, although being funny looking certainly isn’t an asset for him. And I don’t think he’s stupid so much as gullible, as his unquestioning belief in the myth of anthropogenic global warming amply attests. A person possessing sterner intellectual mettle would not be so easily conned by this AGW canard as the Prince has been.
by that standard, all kings and princes who are not impoverished are lesser men,
