Prince Charles Visits Brazil

STORY:

The Prince of Wales and his wife, The Duchess of Cornwall are visiting Brazil as part of their Latin American tour to promote energy efficiency and measures to combat climate change.

In a speech delivered on Thursday, Prince Charles said the world needs to overcompensate for the damage humans have caused to the environment. Otherwise, climate change could provoke an economic meltdown and a flood of refugees.

[Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales]:
"Why can't we take the wisest course and adopt a precautionary approach so, on top of the resource demands we're making on the world, we also have to reduce our global CO2 emissions.”

But the heir to the British throne also gave praise, congratulating his Brazilian hosts for their efforts to protect the Amazon rainforest. Last year the Brazilian government pledged to halve the rate of Amazon deforestation, and is now using satellite surveillance technology to clamp down on illegal logging.

Prince Charles has long advocated urgent measures to reduce carbon emissions and has also proposed issuing long-dated bonds to help fund sustainable development projects in countries where tropical rainforest are being wiped out.

He and his wife already visited Chile, and are due to fly later to Ecuador's Galapagos Islands.

I very much admire The Prince for so intelligently and passionately championing the interests of the environment -- something on which we all so much depend to be in undisturbed balance....

Members of the Royal family are excepted from the provisions of the Marriage Act 1949, and their marriages in England and Wales MUST be performed by Anglican clergy. There would be no obstacle to The Prince of Wales remarrying in Scotland as did his sister The Princess Royal where the Royal Family are not excepted from the provisions of the Scottish Marriage legislation. CHARLES ‘MARRIAGE’ IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE HE REMARRIED IN ENGLAND AND HE WAS AWARE OF IT WHEN HE ‘MARRIED’ THE VILE CAMILLA WHORE

Do not worry yourself as HM The Queen is in wonderful health and consequently will probably live longer than her dear mother. After her death (and we sincerely hope that will not be for at least another 15 years) William will be ideally suited to succeed her. Sadly charles and the pox raddled camilla whore are totally unsuitable and fortunately as there is some doubt regarding the legality of their marrage they will eventually fade away or preferably be blown up by some third world terrorists!

@xda1807 Let me write slowly and carefully so MAYBE you'll understand: You're mouthing the slime that the British and American trash press publishes in order to sell newspapers. No reputable book or other publication that I've read even HINTS at any of this garbage being true. You hate Charles because you adored Diana, and their marriage fell apart. So you try to lay Charles and Camilla to filth every chance you get -- you and many others who post on here.

@Hoosiercorporal I was reading through various replies and can only assume you must have a particularly warped sense of values and low morals if you think that continually whoring around with anything with a pulse is normal. Camilla opened her legs to anything available (and probably still does!) Charles is worse and is clearly bisexual too. It’s tragically sad when young innocent people’s lives are destroyed by such wanton promiscuous evil parasites like charles and the vile camilla whore.

@xda1807 You're a typical devotee of the trashy supermarket tabloids. Read them incessantly, I suspect, and believe every word you see in them, as long as it's derogatory to Prince Charles. I'm sure he's just broken-hearted at your nasty words.
