King Charles is renowned for his commitment to sustainability. He delivered a milestone speech about the environment back in 1970, and has been working hard to protect the planet ever since.
In a bid to reduce his personal impact on the environment, the 76-year-old has made several key changes to his fleet of cars.
The royals first embraced all-electric cars back in 2018 when Charles purchased an EV400 HSE Jaguar I-Pace. The green car was later auctioned off by Historics Auctioneers.
To further aid the transition towards electric cars, electric vehicle chargers were recently installed at Kensington Palace and at the Royal Mews in Marlborough House. These chargers were also installed in the grounds of Windsor Castle back in 2024.
Charles' radical changes at home
Elsewhere, Charles has also introduced a number of changes at his royal residences. Aside from turning down the heating at his swimming pool at Buckingham Palace, he has also switched the heating to biomass boilers at Birkhall, and installed solar panels at Clarence House and Windsor Castle.
His personal sanctuary, Highgrove, has also undergone several changes to protect the planet. Over 40 years ago, His Majesty transformed the acres of land at his beloved Highgrove Estate into an organic farm, strictly limiting the use of antibiotics and other harmful chemicals.
