Monarch and environmentalist
During his time as a Prince, Charles used his position to champion positive change, spearheading numerous initiatives for the planet – and most recently standing as a key figure during COP26. As King Charles, he continues to support green causes.
In 2020, Prince Charles established the Sustainable Markets Initiative, aiming to kickstart action towards a greener future, encouraging the private sector to accelerate their efforts.
Back in the 1980s, Charles began transforming Highgrove, his Gloucestershire estate, into an organic haven. It was a success, gradually becoming a business called Duchy Organic, which sells its produce in Waitrose. All profits go towards charitable causes via the King’s own foundation.
As well as launching large-scale initiatives, Charles has made personal changes to reduce his environmental impact including switching the heating of Birkhall to biomass boilers and installing solar panels at Clarence House.
King Charles III rejecting a £32 million pay rise, asking for his windfarm profits to be invested in ‘wider public good’.
King Charles has launched The Coronation Food Project, a new campaign to tackle issues of food waste and poverty..
