London: The queen is growing increasingly "concerned" that the Prince of Wales is embarrassing other members of the Royal Family in fighting a public eco war.
Senior royal sources said Her Majesty fears his green revolution is leading to tensions within the family.
Both Prince Edward and Prince Andrew have been criticised recently for their use of royal flights.
It is felt Prince Charles's campaigning is putting others under scrutiny to prove their own green credentials. A senior source said: "There is growing concern in the royal household and in the family itself that the Prince of Wales's worthy determination to leave a green legacy may have a detrimental impact on other members of the royal family.
Embarrassed
"Some of the more junior members of the family have been embarrassed by it. Perhaps one should remember that, while Her Majesty remains Head of State of this country, all the royal family must be seen to be working hard under her stewardship and, of course, in harmony.
"This sort of division causes unnecessary tension and may be seen as unhelpful." It is feared the knock-on effects of the criticism may restrict the royals' ability to act as ambassadors promoting Britain abroad.
The situation is deemed so serious that some senior sources fear it may lead to splits in the royal family itself.

The revelation comes after Charles publicly declared in a speech in New York that the fight against climate change was a "war" that must be won.
Sounds like he supports left wing ecoterrorism from that statement. Definitely too much inbreeding going on in that family line.

Can't understand why the Brits don't drop the royals. In their place, they could have an annual bikini contest with the top ten presiding over 7-11 openings and other things the royal family does.

The problem with the Prince of Wales is that he has the IQ of a large rock.
Some people think that England hasn't had a legitimate monarch since the deposition of James II. I'm inclined to go back further than that, round about the Battle of Bosworth Field.

Charles is nuts. The Queen needs to have William made next in line for the throne.

Charlie can't be "queen" so he's gone for the tinfoil crown instead.

LOL... I seldom listen to Michael Weiner, but I know this is his standard quip when it comes to Prince(ss) Charles.
