Listen up, folks. Prince Charles is over the moon about welcoming his fourth grandchild, but he’s got a heavy heart when it comes to the world we’re leaving for this little one. Especially with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry expecting their next bundle of joy, Charles is deeply concerned about the pollution crisis looming over our planet.
At 69 years old, Prince Charles has been a longstanding advocate for environmental conservation. Recently, while visiting Ghana, he opened up about his worries for the newest addition to the royal family. "I am about to have another grandchild actually. I suspect quite a few of you may too have grandchildren or will do soon," he shared, according to The Telegraph. He went on to say, "It does seem to me insanity if we are going to bequeath this completely polluted, damaged, and destroyed world to them." He passionately emphasized, "All grandchildren deserve a better future." This heartfelt sentiment underscores his dedication to ensuring a sustainable and healthy planet for future generations.
Charles Advocates for Innovative Solutions to Combat Pollution
Prince Charles didn’t stop at expressing his concerns; he went further to propose some innovative ways to reduce waste. "A good start has been made. The matter of plastic debris in the environment, in particular, the ocean, is now on the agenda," he explained. However, he stressed the importance of keeping this issue on the forefront. "We do, however, need to keep it there as the amount of plastic entering the ocean every year is, unbelievably, set to get worse rather than better. We cannot, indeed must not, allow this situation to continue," Charles firmly stated. His call to action is clear: we must find solutions to prevent further damage to our planet.

Prince Charles: A Lifelong Advocate for Environmental Change
Charles added, "A solution is achievable and simply has to be done for all our sakes — and, above all, for the long-term viability of all those species in the sea which are already suffering unbearably because of our actions." This powerful statement reflects his deep commitment to protecting marine life and ensuring that future generations inherit a cleaner, healthier world.
Prince William and Prince Harry have fond memories of their father instilling these values in them from a young age. In the documentary Prince, Son And Heir: Charles At 70, they revealed how Charles used to involve them in cleaning up litter. "He took us litter picking, when we were younger, on holiday," William, 36, reminisced. "We were in Norfolk on school holidays, and went out litter picking with him," he added, sharing how normal it felt for them to contribute to keeping the environment clean.
Harry, 34, also echoed similar sentiments, sharing how both he and his brother were inspired by their father and late mother Princess Diana’s efforts to protect the planet. "He’s done an amazing job. Without telling us what we should be doing or the direction we should go in, he’s just let us learn from the nature of the job, learn from him, learn from mummy," Harry fondly remembered. "To the point where I used to get teased at school for picking up rubbish. I didn’t go out consciously looking for it but when you go for walks anywhere and you see something and it stands out, you pick it up." Clearly, Charles has instilled a deep sense of responsibility and care for the environment in his sons, and it’s safe to say this ethos will be passed down to all his grandchildren.
