At the Cop26 summit this month he made an impassioned plea to stop climate change and warned we were in the ‘last chance saloon’.
But Prince Charles’s green credentials were called into question yesterday as it emerged a winter lights display at Sandringham is running on diesel generators.
The Luminate attraction at the Queen’s Norfolk estate is powered by the generators, along with a funfair and car park floodlights erected for the five-week event.
