"I happily talk to the plants and trees, and listen to them. I think it's absolutely crucial," the prince says. "Everything I've done here, it's like almost with your children. Every tree has a meaning for me."

For the man who would be king, the disclosures could be a little off putting. But not for Katie Nicholl, author of the upcoming book "William and Harry."

"He is slightly eccentric, but I think eccentric people make the world go 'round and make it a lot more fun," Nicholl told "Good Morning America."

Prince Charles was an organic pioneer long before it was hip.

"I got a lot of flak for a lot of things," Charles says in the documentary. "I mean, potty this, potty that, loony this, loony that."

When the British Royal Family regains the power to tax & regulate its subjects - this could be a problem. Until then, the serfs are under the protection of benevolent socialists who levy no taxes and encourage total liberty to all British men and women so that they may freely go about their daily lives.

About 1800, the monarchs of Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Spain and Naples were all considered mad or feeble minded.

When your only real job for 61 years is to check to make sure your mother is still alive you have a tendency to go a little mad.

Yes, but has he dabbled in witchcraft?

All of the belligerents in WW I had a grandmother named Queen Victoria. Talking to plants eh? George III did the same thing before they threw the net over him.

All “organic” means is that it was grown in crap. Nothing new there.

HRH? He’s loopy.

[Frantzie]

He has a good tailor but besides that he is a waste of oxygen.

The royal families are so weird. His mum is German and his dad is Greek. True.

His father, Prince Philip, was born in Greece.

Still - I would take them over Potus in the white hut.

I TALK TO THE TREES
Paint Your Wagon : The Musical
(Lerner & Loewe)
Tony Bavaar

I talk to the trees
But they don’t listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me
The breeze hasn’t time
To stop and hear what I say
I talk to them all in vain

Refrain;
But suddenly my words
Reach someone else’s ears
Touch someone else’s heartstrings, too
I tell you my dreams
And while you’re listening to me
I suddenly see them come true

I can see us on an April night
Sipping brandy underneath the stars
Reading poems in the candlelight
To the strumming of guitars

I will tell you all the books I’ve read
And the way I met the King of France
Then I’ll send the servants off to bed
And I’ll ask you for a dance

Refrain;
But suddenly my words
Reach someone else’s ears
Touch someone else’s heartstrings, too
I tell you my dreams
And while you’re listening to me
I suddenly see them come true
