Prince Charles was recently slammed for taking a private jet to Switzerland while promoting the importance of climate change.

According to Express, the heir to the throne took the private jet to Switzerland, where he launched the Sustainable Market Initiative at the World Economic Forum earlier this year. The trip, reportedly, cost Prince Charles $150,000.

Back then, Prince William and Prince Harry’s dad was slammed for being hypocritical. After all, Prince Charles, reportedly, took three private jets in a span of 11 days to take about climate change.

It is common knowledge that one of the main causes of pollution and destroying the environment is by taking a private jet or plane.

Besides the massive cost of the flight, Prince Charles’ trip also caused 162 metric tons in carbon emission, which is 18 times more than the average Briton’s annual carbon footprint.

But Clarence House also released a statement saying that Prince Charles’ role in The Firm makes it impossible for him to not take private jets when he travels overseas.

The palace insider also said that Prince Charles is not the one that decides that he would be taking a private jet to his overseas trips. And his trips are usually made at the British Government's request, which means that they are not personal.

Meanwhile, Prince Charles also made headlines this week amid claims that one of his biggest struggles as a royal is also something that his eldest grandson, Prince George, would experience.

In 2014, royal journalist Elinor Goodman talked about Prince Charles’ struggles to define his role as the future king. And when the time comes, Prince George could also experience the same struggles.

And when Prince Charles ascends the throne, his younger sister, Princess Anne, will, reportedly, lose her place in the inner circle.

While speaking with Express, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said that Prince Charles wants to have a slimmed-down monarchy. And it is highly likely for Princess Anne to get the boot because of her age.

“Princess Anne in 70 now and she does a remarkable amount. No doubt she will want to continue, but who knows how that will play out? I would have thought that it was in everyone's interests for royal patronages, where appropriate, to be around the same as they are. People ought to realize that the royals have some 3,000 patronages and do some 3,500 engagements,” he said.
