- Prince Charles opened up about his fears of "broken promises" to his grandchildren as part of a very important initiative of his.
- The Prince of Wales, who is grandfather to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as well as Archie and Lilibet, raised his concerns over making promises he cannot keep as he talked about his environmental concerns at the Terra Carta launch earlier this year.
- This royal news comes as Prince Charles faced concern from royal fans as internet searches for his "swollen" sausage fingers soared.
Prince Charles, who lives at Clarence House in London with wife Duchess Camilla, launched Terra Carta, or Earth Carta, virtually to coincide with the One Planet Summit in Paris back in January of 2021.
As part of the vital environmental project, the Duke of Cornwall confessed that he has fears for the future of his grandchildren; Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and baby Lilibet Diana, who was not born at the time.
Sharing the touching motivation behind the pivotal plan, which hopes to provide a roadmap for a more sustainable world by 2030, Prince Charles highlighted that time to save our planet is "fast running out".
"It is critical that we accelerate and mainstream sustainability into every aspect of our economy," he explained, hailing the Terra Carta the "basis of a recovery plan" for the people and animals of our planet.
Charles, who spends much of his time in the countryside at Highgrove House, also hammered home the need to act now against the climate crisis—or risk future generations like grandchildren George, Charlotte, Louis, Archie and Lilibet looking back on "broken promises".
In his foreword to the Terra Carta, he said, "Sustainability is a choice. If we make it a part of our core values it will define our purpose, determine our choices and drive our actions.
"It is this which will determine whether or not our children and grandchildren look back on a series of broken promises or, instead, reflect on a tipping point at which the world shifted to a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous trajectory."
