Prince Charles was busy abusing his position again this morning, lecturing us on deforestation on the Today programme.
This man has a choice to make: it he wants to take part in political debates, step aside as heir to the throne. If he wants the privileges that come with his position: shut up and behave like his mother.
There was a line I liked, however, when he was speaking about lobbying President Sarkozy: I had a word with President Sarkozy the other day. I had to pick him up at the airport and take him to Windsor, so I spoke to him then. I do like the image of Charles standing waiting at the arrivals gate with a sign saying 'Sarkozy' and helping the French President with his luggage into the back of his car before driving him to his destination.
