Prince
To Save The World From Environmental
Destruction
The Prince of Wales says he believes he has
been placed on Earth as future King ‘for a
purpose’ - to save the world. Giving a
fascinating insight into his view of his
inherited wealth and influence, he said: ‘I
can only somehow imagine that I find myself
being born into this position for a purpose.
‘I don’t want my grandchildren or yours to
come along and say to me, “Why the hell
didn’t you come and do something about this?
You knew what the problem was”. That is what
motivates me. I wanted to express something in
the outer world that I feel inside... We seem
to have lost that understanding of the whole
of nature and the universe as a living
entity.’ His impassioned comments come
during a film about his belief that unbridled
commerce has led to the destruction of
farmland and countryside. The documentary,
called Harmony, is due to be aired on the U.S.
network NBC in November to coincide with the
launch of a book of the same name by the
prince. Charles is understood to have waived
his author’s fee, and all royalties will go
to his charity, the Prince’s Trust. But the
Prince has previously come under fire for
hypocrisy over his eco-values.
