Prince Charles has admitted he is a "bloody nuisance" lobbying on green issues but concedes he will have to curb his campaigning when he becomes king.
Prince Charles has admitted he is a "bloody nuisance" lobbying on green issues but concedes he will have to curb his campaigning when he becomes king.
Speaking in tonight's BBC documentary ahead of his 60th birthday this Friday, the prince admits he does not always enjoy his public role but hopes one of his sons may eventually take up the fight for some of his most beloved causes.
The film, Charles at 60: The Passionate Prince followed him over the course of a year, and is an affectionate portrait. There is no mention of Diana and Camilla barely had a walk-on part.
!ADVERTISEMENT!
Insisting he is a "mobiliser", not a meddler, the prince speaks about his favourite themes such as architecture and his opposition to GM crops. He is also clearly empowered by the "real excitement" of counting his orchids and the film features his ornamental gardens in Highgrove House .
Asked whether he enjoys the job, Charles admits: "Bits of it. It's something I felt I must do to help as many people as possible and to help the country."
