Prince Charles is getting real about his grandchildren… and good for him!
The soon-to-be 70-year-old son of Queen Elizabeth was speaking to a group during a visit to Ghana this week when he mentioned the state of the environment and the kind of planet his generation was handing over to his grandchildren — including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s coming child.

In the speech, Prince Charles noted his coming grandchild by saying (below):
“I am about to have another grandchild actually. I suspect quite a few of you may too have grandchildren or will do soon. It does seem to me insanity if we are going to bequeath this completely polluted, damaged and destroyed world to them … All grandchildren deserve a better future.”
Amen!!!

And he continued on about the state of the environment and more, too (below):
“A good start has been made. The matter of plastic debris in the environment, in particular the ocean, is now on the agenda. We do, however, need to keep it there as the amount of plastic entering the ocean every year is, unbelievably, set to get worse rather than better. We cannot, indeed must not, allow this situation to continue. A solution is achievable and simply has to be done for all our sakes – and, above all, for the long-term viability of all those species in the sea which are already suffering unbearably because of our actions.”
Smart man — and right to be so concerned about the state of the world that his generation is now leaving behind to those younger… including Harry and Meghan’s coming baby!
