What has Prince Charles said about the environment?
Firstly, Camila serves as a Patron for Battersea Cats Dog Home, and has rescued several Jack Russell Terriers.
Charles, meanwhile, is an established environmentalist.
In fact, back in July, The Duke of Cornwall delivered a powerful message on Earth Day.
His speech included: “Rarely do we have the opportunity to pause, reflect and reset our trajectory. I would encourage us all to reimagine the world we want and use all the levers we have at our disposal, knowing that each and everyone one of us has a vital role to play.
“For fifty years, since the very first Earth Day, I have dedicated a large part of my life to championing more balanced sustainable approaches whether in farming, forestry, fisheries, urban planning or corporate social responsibility. But as we look to shape the next fifty years, I very much need your help.”
