Wow.

Digital News And Entertainment Editor / October 31 2018

Prince Charles has given his grandson Prince George, 5, a gift that just keeps on giving. 

The 69-year-old royal speaks candidly about a special present he planted for his first grandson just after his birth in July 2013 in new documentary, Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70.

Speaking from his Scottish home of Birkhall, Charles gestures to dozens of trees that were planted when the royal was born five years ago, and says: “This is George’s wood.”

“As I get older, all I really long for is to plant trees,” Charles, who has a lifelong commitment to conservation and the environment, continues. “I hope it will be quite amusing for George, as they grow up, and he grows up.”Charles’ wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, also appears in the documentary, adding: “You can’t believe how much it’s grown. It was tiny when it was all planted. The next thing you know, you’re being dwarfed by it.”

Earlier this week, Harry gave a speech at  the Australian Geographic Society Awards, and referred to speeches given by his father almost 50 years.

“My father and others have been speaking about the environment for decades – not basing it on fallacy or new-age hypothesis, but rooted in science and facts, and the sobering awareness of our environmental vulnerability,” said Harry. “And while those speeches would sometimes fall on deaf ears, he and others were unrelenting in their commitment to preserve the most valuable resource we have – our planet.”
