King Charles is finally beginning to see the fruits of his hard work as his life-long mission is getting the attention and praise it deserves.
The topic of sustainability and protecting the natural environment had been a tricky to talk about and Charles had received plenty of criticism for it. However, it was his forward-thinking which brought him to a point, where he can make a significant difference in the matter.
The monarch received high-praise from Leonard Russell, the managing director and chairman of family-owned firm Ian Macleod Distillers, after being “awarded” for having the best whisky.
Leonard stressed on how important it was for someone like the King to talk about it. He shared it that it was a “pleasure and a privilege to meet” Charles.
“I know how supportive he is of supporting the environment,” he told GB News. “With sustainability and good quality architecture, but particularly supporting the rural city, because he spends a lot of time in Scotland at Balmoral during the summer.
He noted, “I know that he enjoys that walk around in the hills, and how he is genuinely concerned about nature.”
The update comes just days after the King marked the premiere of the documentary that sheds light on Charles’s lifelong commitment to the environment.
He reaffirmed his resolve to keep fighting for not just his future for his children and grandchildren. He asserted that he “wasn’t going to be diverted” from his environmental campaign, despite the continued criticism.
