Charles will NOT abandon his pet projects when crowned King: The Prince of Wales will ‘resist calls to abandon his charitable causes and is ready to open royal palaces’ during his reign
- Prince Charles will refuse to stop campaigning for the causes he loves
- He outlined his new approach during a meeting with Prime Minister Trudeau in Canada.
- The Prince of Wales has been criticized for his views on agriculture and homeopathy.
- But his future interventions will be guided by ‘listening more than talking’
The Prince of Wales will resist calls to ditch his pet projects when he becomes King, The Mail on Sunday understands.
Instead, you’ll find new ways to champion your favorite causes, opening up the royal palaces and ‘bringing people together to find solutions’.
One insider described it as a plan to be ‘a coordinating King rather than an activist King’. Significantly, it appears that he has agreed not to be outspoken or bring disputes to court.
The prince is said to have outlined his new approach during a meeting in the Canadian capital of Ottawa on Wednesday with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney. “Even if people come to see what the inside of my house looks like, they may stay to solve the problems we face,” he told them.

Charles has been criticized for his strong views on topics such as architecture, homeopathy, organic food and traditional farming methods, with some questioning how his views will square with the impartiality required of the monarch.
However, it seems that his future interventions will focus on “listening instead of talking”.
A royal source said: “He never gives up on problems and keeps coming back to people to find out what progress has been made.”

A royal source told The Mail on Sunday: “He never gives up on problems and keeps coming back.”

Carlos is likely to have a very different style of monarchy from the Queen, experts anticipate
“But this is the distinction: not solving problems yourself, but listening to people’s concerns and bringing others together to solve them.”
That is likely to lead to a different style of monarchy than the Queen: an unprecedented reign in which few people have listened to her personal views.
It also marks a departure for Charles, who has earned both admiration and criticism for interventions such as describing a proposed expansion of the National Gallery as “a monstrous anthrax”.
However, he will maintain the networks of friendship that he has built. The source continued: “The Prince has relationships that go back a long way: some of the indigenous leaders he met in Canada are people he has been talking to for decades. His mother was much younger when he came to the throne, but he has had a lifetime as a royal.

Charles met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottowa during a brief visit this week.
Another insider said: “We know what the Prince thinks about various issues, so there is no chance of putting the genie back in the bottle.” What you decide to say will be very important, but you can still be bold enough to make an impact but do it with great skill.’
Last week’s three-day Canadian tour provided the biggest sign yet of how he would carry out his duties. It was notable, for example, that she used a flight to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories to make changes to a valedictory address to acknowledge the suffering of indigenous children in Anglican Residential Schools. Aides revealed that what had been planned as “a few comments” morphed into a heavily worded statement.
Charles had previously met with survivors as Canada approaches the first anniversary of the discovery of hundreds of unmarked children’s graves.

A keen environmentalist, Charles has open views on architecture, agriculture, homeopathy, and more.
His approach was welcomed, and one leader told him: ‘You must have been indigenous in another life because you understand us.’
The Prince also privately presented Dettah community chiefs with two bird boxes, handmade on his Highgrove estate, so they can track native wildlife.
A source said the Prince, who has found common ground with the Elders in his passion for the environment, has arranged to follow up with the community to see if the boxes work.
Much of this soft diplomacy is believed to continue when he becomes king, behind the scenes and away from the cameras.
