Charles spent his whole life preparing for the role of the new king. However, royalists anticipate that he will face several challenges while maintaining good relations with the country’s government.
While holding the longest apprenticeship of 70 years, King Charles has actively campaigned on environmental issues for more than 50 years. He has been and was an early advocate of climate action.
There have been fears that King Charles could destroy Queen Elizabeth’s legacy as Prime Minister Liz Truss’s government threatens to accelerate fossil fuel emissions by introducing more oil drilling and fracking.
Journalist Dominic Lawson claimed that the new policy could affect Charles’s passion for the environment because his views on the issue could “jeopardize everything his mother has worked so long to protect”. “.
As head of state, the king is expected to remain strictly neutral in political matters.
Her Majesty has remained neutral throughout her 70-year reign, but some claim Charles’ input on green issues may be needed now that Truss’ policies threaten to further damage the environment.
The UK has previously agreed legally binding targets to reduce carbon emissions by 2050 to achieve net zero.
