Prince William’s 5,500 Mile Flight to Fight Climate Change Under Scrutiny
Newsweek ^ | Nov 05, 2025 | Jack Royston

Posted on 11/05/2025 7:43:47 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Prince William's visit to Brazil for his Earthshot Prize climate change project drew criticism on social media over his carbon footprint.

The Prince of Wales gives out £1 million [around $1.3 million] in funding to each of five innovative solutions to the climate crisis, holding each ceremony on a different continent.

This year Earthshot has taken him to Rio de Janeiro, making the event a prelude to climate conference COP30, also in Brazil, but in Belém, from November 10 to 21.

A post on X read: "Prince William jets 5,500 miles to Brazil for his £300k taxpayer-funded 'eco' trip preaching sustainability while living off public money. The hypocrisy of monarchy in one flight #AbolishTheMonarchy."

The evidence is mounting that William will be no better than his father.

But Catherine is easier on the eyes than Camilla ever was.
So there’s that.

Yes — to a degree. Like many members of long-established European royal families, King Charles III has some degree of inbreeding in his ancestry, though it’s relatively low by modern standards.

At least King Charles III has an excuse.

William's mother, Princess Diana, came from the Spencer family, which, while aristocratic, had little close kinship to the royal line in recent generations. Her inclusion in the family tree drastically reduced the inbreeding coefficient of her children.

Prince William has conducted himself well as a husband and father. Beautiful marriage and family.

Politically…1776 happened for obvious good reason this side of the pond.

Hopefully England will find a way to honor their heritage for the long run AND undergo a massive shift politically.

The savage invaders will eventually do away with the woke monarchy. Who could blame them?

Not yet. Charles and William are useful idiots.

Charles, definitely.

William...

Maybe not.

Looks like multiple Deep States still want the House of Windsor gone.
