Prince Charles is an environmentalist and he loves planting trees.

According to researchers on the British quiz show QI, Prince Charles shakes hands with the trees that he plants to wish them well. More specifically, Prince Charles holds one of the branches of the tree and handshakes it.

Clarence House confirmed this claim about Prince Charles by saying that this information is also listed on the facts on the heir to the throne found on their website.

During a previous interview, Prince William and Prince Harry revealed that he talks to the plants, and they usually respond to him. He said that talking to the plants and trees is very important because this helps them grow.

Meanwhile, Prince Charles also made headlines this week amid claims that Meghan Markle was escorted out of the future king’s 70th birthday garden party.

The video was unearthed after royal author Lady Colin Campbell said that Markle said something at Prince Charles’ party that shocked everyone including herself.

In return, Markle’s supporters criticized Prince Charles following his speech on diversity. In his speech, Prince Charles said that the diversity of British society is its greatest strength and it gives the nation so much to celebrate.

However, fans of the Duchess of Sussex weren’t happy with Prince Charles’ claims especially since Markle was not welcomed into the royal family.

On Twitter, one royal fan tried to challenge Prince Charles’ statement by asking about the way that the Duchess of Sussex was treated by some members of the royal family.

“People who live in glass castles should not throw stones,” the royal fan wrote.

Another Markle supporter said that Prince Charles’ words are empty.

“That’s rich coming from you. I don’t think you believe them. If you did, you would not have sat silently by and let the British media crucify Meghan, your daughter-in-law, and the only example of diversity in your family,” the fan tweeted.

Another Markle supporter said that Prince Charles’ statement is quite shameful. After all, he didn’t think that the diversity in his own family was the greatest strength and something that he should have celebrated.

The fan also said that Prince Charles’ words are empty and it’s disgraceful.

As of late, Prince Charles has not yet responded to the backlash. And it is not in his nature to release statements on matters that are based on observations and not facts.
