‘Climate Charlie’ Set to Jet Off on 16,000 Mile ‘Green’ Crusade
Prince Charles was accused of hypocrisy last night for using a private jet on an ‘environmental’ tour of South America.
The prince will travel to the region next month in a visit costing an estimated £300,000 as part of his crusade against global warming.
He will use a luxury airliner to transport himself, the Duchess of Cornwall and a 14-strong entourage to Chile, Brazil and Ecuador on a 16,400-mile round trip.

Do as I say not as I do.
I wish these people could see the true deprevation in UK society.
MIchael Palin is another idiot like Charles, an ex member of Transport 2000, a green anti car organisation, but its OK for Him to travel all the way round the world on jollys. BUt for the rest of us we should live green life styles.
I do care as well I work for a voluntary Charity helping feeding homeless people— which are those that the “nice” society would rather not be here! I do a full time job as well before anyone thinks I dont contribute to society.
What is Charles or Michael Palins contribution to reducing CO2? shooting a few less grouse? or cycling on warm days around a pictureseque Oxfordshire village?
Try getting up close and personal with the UK’s disadvantaged and poor before telling us how to live. SOme of these people have nothing, yes some of them are Heroin Addicts, Alcoholics, Crack Addicts— but they are PEOPLE

The Bonnie Prince should paint the Jet Green and serve organic snacks on board.
