Here at just4theplanet – as a UK based environmental news service – we are very proud to have as heir to the throne this passionate human being. He was once caricatured as the “tree hugging Prince” – little did his detractors understand that Charles was 20 years ahead of the curve. Well now just4theplanet has re-labelled HRH our “shining beacon of green light”. From “tree hugging Prince” – to environmental Prince of the world.
