Prince Charles has told British families to take shorter showers to help protect the environment.
The instruction came at the end of a list of 20 lifestyle changes recommended by the Prince of Wales for his new green campaign, Start.
In separate advice endorsed by the Prince, he was more detailed – urging people to give up baths in favour of 'short, refreshing' five minute showers.
His campaign website reads: 'Snub the tub. If everybody in a four-person family replaced one bath a week with a five-minute shower, you could save between £5 and £15 per year off your energy bill.'
However, the 61-year-old Prince might need to tackle his own family's washing habits before telling the rest of the country how to behave. His father the Duke of Edinburgh, 89, takes baths.
He slipped in one in 2005 and badly bruised his left eye after catching it with his thumb.
And Sarah Ferguson, Charles's former sister-in-law and the mother of his nieces, has spoken of taking ice-cold baths on a daily basis to tackle her 'dark' moods.

So the Brits can smell like the French?
Er, they don’t need any encouragement in leaving the bathtub! The two worst-smelling European groups I have met abroad have been Brits and Germans.
What??? The British bathe??? Who knew?

Not even I want this silly guy to be king someday - and I don’t even live in the sodding country!
Has there ever been a dumber member of the royal family that this dunce?

And, for Heaven’s sakes, stop obsessing so much about the beauty of your teeth.
1) start the shower
2) put the plug in the drain AS IF taking a bath
3) take normal time shower
4) see how much water fills the tub as you take your normal shower
5) if it is less then a normal bath tub full, then you are already OK
6) if it is more, then either take bath or shorten your shower time
They however find Americans too clean and don’t think we smell enough.
Seriously I read that when I was in England.
Well put!
To lower your water bill, we could agree with.
To keep the peace between your teen daughter and your younger son banging on the bathroom door - another good reason.
But to save the planet? BS
Does this mean they only bathe ONCE a week? (I'm not really sure I want to know.)
How many palaces does this clown own?
