The King has admitted he does not want to be accused by his grandchildren of failing to act to save the planet and leaving them a “ghastly legacy of horror”.
He told environmentalist Steve Backshall on a new ITV documentary that he found it “very frustrating” that scientists’ warnings about climate change still went unheeded, despite the world being at a “tipping point”.
The documentary, Steve Backshall’s Royal Arctic Challenge, looks back at then Prince Charles’s 1975 voyage to the Canadian Arctic, where he braved an under ice dive that organisers now admit was more dangerous than his team realised.
Charles the Eco-Nut King.
