Prince Charles And Camilla Set Sail On A Mean Green Machine

Filed under: green and famous, thegreenpicture, travel — parrish @ 10:57 am

It’s official: Prince Charles is purposely trying to suck up to the Ecorazzi team. Yeah you heard me, Brittan’s own P.Ciddy is going to the theater, saving trees, appearing as holograms, and all as part of a mission to steal the coveted Ecorazzi Poster Boy title from Ed. Begley Jr. And now there’s this:

In the wake of the recent Spice Girl breakup, it’s just been announced that Britain’s own eco-conscious Prince is going on tour…well kinda. Starting March 4th, Charles and Camilla will tour the Caribbean in a yacht that’s being billed as “environmentally friendly.” Prince Charles and his crew rented the 246-foot vessel Leander from businessman, Donald Gosling, and will be taking it on an 11-day trip. His office said that sailing, rather than flying, would reduce the trip’s carbon footprint and be lighter on the old Buckingham billfold than traveling by chartered plane.

Ok Prince, you win! I’m totally impressed. But until you build your home out of Peat Moss, insulate your house in recycled tires that you yourself cleaned off the highway, and get your mama to open her own biodynamic winery at Buckingham Palace, you’ll never trump Ed Begley Jr. So keep doing your part and maybe one day Camilla will be the first Green Queen!

Prince Charles And Camilla Enjoy An Afternoon Of Environmental Theatre

Filed under: events, events: uk, green and famous, theater — parrish @ 11:55 am

I believe it was Billy Shakes who once said, “To be or not to be sustainable, that is the question.”

Prince Charles and wife Camilla, the Duchess Of Cornwall (you gotta love a good Duchess), spent yesterday afternoon enjoying some downtime at the theater…the children’s theater.  The royal duo visited the Unicorn Theatre (not to be confused with the Fairy Theatre, the Gargoyle Theatre or the Keebler Elf Theatre) and watched a production of A Singer from the Desert Came-a story set in the future when Earth has been destroyed by mankind’s way of life (so it’s a comedy?). The play was performed by TheatreQuest, a troupe funded by Charles’ organization, The Prince’s Foundation for Children.  In its lifetime, TheatreQuest has introduced the arts to over 1,300 children by getting them involved with local theatres.

No report on whether Charles and company were good audience members (I hear Camilla has a nasty hard candy wrapper habit). However, after the show, Charles addressed the children and said, “You can see I do have my uses, to allow you to get away from your lessons! But hopefully this little play will remind us of the importance of not making a complete mess of our planet.”  

Wait a tick! The leaders of Britain actually SUPPORT the arts? Now that IS foreign. Sure, maybe Charles is kinda funny looking and a little scandalous, but his support for the environment and the theatre deserve a good old fashion standing O! So on the count of three, let’s all sing it together: Charles in charge of our days and our nights. Charles in charge of our wrongs and our rights. And I sing, I want, I want, Charles in charge of me!
