That Time Prince Charles Tricked His Prince William And Prince Harry Into Picking Up Trash
, Prince William recalled the way his father normalized this environmentally-friendly practice. “We were there with our spikes, stabbing the rubbish into black plastic bags. We both just thought: ‘Oh well this is perfectly normal, everyone must do it.’”
As the brothers spoke, footage of Prince Charles’ 1970 speech warning against the dangers of plastic waste played in the background. Clearly, the harmful effects of litter has long been an interest of the Prince of Wales, which then trickled down to his sons. The environmental lesson also had quite an effect on Prince Harry.
Even as a schoolboy, Prince Harry couldn’t help but stop to pick up trash, even if it meant teasing from his classmates. “I used to get taken the mickey out of at school for just picking up rubbish,” the Duke of Sussex admitted. “I didn’t go out consciously looking for it. If you go for a walk somewhere and see something and it stands out, you pick it up.”
The brothers praised their father for instilling this virtue in them at a young age. Prince Harry was impressed that Prince Charles was able to ease them into this routine “without telling us what we should be doing.” Prince Charles led by example, which was all the more impactful for his sons. “You realize, I’ve literally done this because I am programmed to do it because my father did it and actually we should all be doing it,” said Prince Harry.
