Prince Charles greens up his act

Prince Charles continues to make changes to his lifestyle, making him the greenest royal in the UK.

The prince will replace carbon-heavy private jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services.

Next week, he will take delivery of Jaguar cars adapted to run on biodiesel fuel, while royal residences such as Highgrove in Gloucestershire will switch to green electricity.

Aides said using cleaner transport such as national rail services was now a priority for the prince and his staff, but that this would happen only “where appropriate”. They ruled out the heir to the throne travelling across London on the tube or arriving at official functions by bicycle.
