King Charles has always been a vocal advocate for protecting the environment as he has been campaigning for climate change for over 50 years and was a true pioneer for the social cause before it became the global emergency that it is today.
Whether it is planting trees or using organic farming methods, the King is a man who practices what he preaches. And as a devoted grandfather, the prince is determined to leave behind a better world for his grandchildren.
In 2021, the-then Prince of Wales appeared on The One Show and gave a tour around a very special part of the Royal Family’s Balmoral Estate in Scotland.
During the segment, King Charles answered questions the public had sent in about how we can live more sustainably. The interview was filmed in Prince George’s Wood, which the monarch has called an “old man’s obsession”.
He explained the sweet tribute to his grandson: “This was a rather empty field that the farm didn’t need anymore. The great thing was that I managed to plant it the same year that my grandson was born, the eldest, George, so I thought I’d call it Prince George’s wood.”
The King then added: “It is really for autumn colour and a bit of spring. But autumn is the magic up here. So finding all the interesting trees and shrubs that turn an interesting colour is half the battle.”
King Charles previously spoke about his concerns for the world he will leave behind for his grandchildren during a 2018 tour of Ghana.
He told the crowd: "It does seem to me insanity if we are going to bequeath this completely polluted, damaged and destroyed world to them." He continued, "All grandchildren deserve a better future."
The King has five grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis from Prince William and Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from Prince Harry.
He is also the step-grandfather of Queen Camilla's five grandchildren, Lola and Freddie Parker-Bowles and Eliza, Gus and Louis Lopes.
This isn't the only incredible tribute to Prince George that King Charles put in place as he had a gift installed at Highgrove House for his grandson when he celebrated his first birthday.
A Victorian-style ‘Shepherd’s hut’, was presented to the young royal from Dorset-based company Plankbridge and includes everything from a wood-burning stove to a day bed.
The hut can be spotted by visitors during a guided tour through The King's gardens and is thought to be a popular spot for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to play in.
When they get tired of the playhouse, the Wales children can also play in the treehouse which was built for Prince William in 1989. The wooden house was installed for William's 7th birthday and was refurbished for King Charles' grandchildren to play in.
