Charles, 72, Prince of Wales, is the first heir to the British throne, and in the past five decades, the prince has been most concerned about the climate and environment of the United Kingdom and the earth, and has made great contributions to the protection of the environment and the protection of the ecological environment.
While participating in environmental protection work, Charles will also talk about these issues through speeches and call for more people to participate, but in recent years, the content of the prince's speeches has been increasingly questioned.
In a recent speech by Charles, he again spoke of concerns about the destruction of nature, saying that fears of hedges being washed away, wetlands drying up, woodlands disappearing, etc., were questioned and ridiculed by Stephen Glover, an environmental columnist for the British newspaper, who believed that the prince's concerns were becoming more and more exaggerated, to the point of "the end of the world".
Mr Glover said: "On the whole, the British people should be grateful to the heir to the throne for being so concerned about environmental issues, but on the other hand Prince Charles's remarks seem to have become out of touch with reality, and the series of issues he expounds are not seen in the lives of ordinary people, it is difficult to deny, he sometimes sounds like an interesting but fussy professor." ”
Mr. Glover did not "get through" his words, in fact he wanted to directly compare Charles to a "fussy" government official, adding after hesitation: "This is more or less like a politician's means." "This is because Prince Charles has in the past had frequent private correspondence with an official because of his concern for environmental issues, which led to his accusations of interference in political affairs, which had a very serious impact on his overall image."
The expert said that because Charles did not give a speech based on issues that really need attention in real life, the content of his speech has been effective, such as in recent weeks, there have been many spontaneous demonstrations of eco-protesters at the M25 conference, hoping to call on other people to realize the importance of environmental protection, and Charles said in an interview that he fully understands the mood of the demonstrators and said that some groups have not realized that their future "will be completely destroyed".
Mr. Grover stressed that the lives of many ordinary people have been seriously affected by the marches of these demonstrators, and Prince Charles's tolerant remarks have not only not stopped this behavior but have encouraged them, and as Charles continues this exaggerated propaganda, there will be more and more "extremists" who have a perfect excuse for extreme behavior: "I am answering the call of His Royal Highness Prince Charles." ”
Finally, the columnist said sarcastically: "I don't think Charles has ever experienced a traffic jam or any other problem, maybe he did see scenes of ecological damage, but he was not really in it, which led him to make an extreme appeal to the outside world only through imagination." 」 ”
Interestingly, Prince Charles's youngest son, Harry, has been similarly questioned when he was engaged in public welfare work, and he was accused of not doing it down-to-earth, but with some other purpose, and Charles seems to be the same, for him who has been pampered in the royal family since childhood, maybe he really pays attention to environmental protection, but gradually this has evolved into one of the ways he uses to enhance his personal image, causing him to slowly deviate from this issue that should be paid attention to.
