As King Charles III ascends the throne, LBC takes a look at what kind of monarch he will be
King Charles III is expected to be a reformist monarch and slim-down the Firm following his mother Queen Elizabeth II's death.
The arts, the built environment, responsible business and enterprise, young people, global sustainability and rural affairs have been the focus of his philanthropic work. The prince, who is known for his strong opinions, particularly on climate change and the environment, architecture and farming, has faced criticism in the past after accusations of lobbying government ministers on his views.
It came after he told a conference in Italy days before COP26 that the world was in the "last chance saloon" for taking climate action. She described Charles as "a duchy original" and "a dedicated and respected heir to the throne to stand comparison with any in history - and a wonderful father", adding: "Most of all, sustained by his wife Camilla, he is his own man, passionate and creative."Charles says death of Queen Elizabeth II 'is a moment of the greatest sadness' for Royal Family
It read: "When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.
