Charles is making a personal statement by planning a radical shake-up of his travel plans. Charles will stop using royal helicopters and private jets on official engagements whenever possible.
He intends to make more use of the royal train and has ordered his chauffeurs to leave their cars behind and travel by bicycle when they check arrangements ahead of his appointments in London.
Charles has also told aides to find a more environmentally friendly fuel for his fleet of cars.
He has even suggested commuting to London on the train from Kemble station in Gloucestershire instead of driving or going by helicopter.
The Prince wants the new system in place for him and Camilla by February. But it is causing a headache for palace staff and some senior courtiers fear his green plans could embarrass the Queen and other members of the royal family who continue to use helicopters and jets.
Does this mean Charles will stop flying in large jet aircraft to the British Colonies scattered around the world?
After all, isn’t it his duty to present himself to all of the Queen's Royal subjects wherever they may be in the far-flung British Empire?
.
Somehow I doubt if the paparazzi will ever have a chance to photograph the Prince riding a public commuter train or peddling a bicycle on the streets of London.
