Prince Charles Loses His Last Marble
**Written by Doug Powers
The man whose polo ponies’ farts are responsible for more carbon emissions in a week than your car gives off in an entire year is lecturing everybody about global warming again — and his descent into eco-madness is accelerating.
Prince Charles is proof-positive that, if you’re not careful, having it so good for so long can apply a healthy amount of grease to your grip on reality:
BRITAIN’S Prince Charles has cited the Mumbai shantytown setting for the film “Slumdog Millionaire” as a role model for sustainable living in Western cities, a report said Saturday.
The 61-year-old heir to the British throne writes in a new book being published next week that the Dharavi slum is better and more instinctively organised than many Western towns, London’s Daily Telegraph said.
In the book, called Harmony, Prince Charles contrasts the “fragmented, deconstructed” housing estates of Western nations with the “order and harmony” of the dusty potters’ colony featured in the Oscar-winning movie.
“We have a great deal to learn about how complex systems can self-organise to create a harmonious whole,” he said.
Charles first mentioned that Mumbai’s shanty towns should serve as a model for the world in 2009, but this is the first time he’s put his silent cry for anti-psychotic meds in book form.
Naturally, not wanting to be a hypocrite, Charles plans to immediately move out of Clarence House and pick up a one-bedroom fixer-upper in this eco-friendly, carbon neutral Mumbai neighborhood:
I’m sure Leo DiCaprio and Al Gore will be moving in soon as well.
It’s said that Clarence House (one of Charles’ homes) is approximately 40,000 square feet — which is just under an acre of space. In Mumbai’s Dharavi slum, the model of eco-efficiency according to Charles, up to 18,000 people are crammed into an acre. To make Clarence House match his model for environmental nirvana, Charles will have to get rid of all the toilets, sanitation and running water and invite over 17,998 people.
Over the summer, Charles began trying to ease people into the eco-friendly, carbon neutral nirvana of slum life. He’s starting slowly by convincing folks to forego the bath and take showers — short showers:
Prince Charles has told British families to take shorter showers to help protect the environment.
The instruction came at the end of a list of 20 lifestyle changes recommended by the Prince of Wales for his new green campaign, Start.
[...]
Last year Charles, cut carbon emissions by 4 per cent at his four households and increased the use of renewable energy to 22 per cent.
Four percent at four homes? Whoa! Prince Charles’ argument is now “I’ve got a total of 22 bathrooms, 21 of which I’m never showering in on any given day — that’s a 99.1 percent cutback in maximum possible usage. I hope you can give something back like I am!”
One thing’s for sure: Charles could save the environment a Prince-induced carbon atrocity if he’d only sell his jet(s), homes, cars and go live a sustainable life in the place he’s using as a model for everybody else in the world — everybody with the exception of princes and other select bloated hypocrites.

OMG, this poor man is really showing how centuries of royal breeding with ones family members is showing! What a blooming idiot!
L
When you are a useless figure head in an anachronistic Monarchy,and you have nothing but time on your hands trying to find purpose to your life, drooling out stupidities like these are par for the course. Just because he has the word “Prince” before his name, doesnt mean he has intelligence or common sense. I care about what this nitwit says as much as I do about the latest musings of lady gaga.
Oh come on, I think you’re selling Lady Gaga a little short!
I don’t wish ill on others, but it would sure be good for England if Bonnie Prince Charlie predeceased his mother.
Hmmm…good point!
c,mon you heartless neo-cons, it isn’t about DOING SOMETHING, it’s about CARING and FEELINGS.
The wee little Princy CARES.
And you don’t. Pass the GREY POUPON.
Too much European Nobility inbreeding?
Good things his kids have some Peasent blood in them…
Skip this guy for King…
In his “Change” series science fiction author S.M. Stirling paints a very similar description of Prince Charles. In the second book of the series “The Protectors War” He describes the prince now King Charles as going quite barking mad after the cataclysmic events that took place in the first book. So do we have a case here of life imitating art?
When Prince Charles and Al Gore move out of their mansions and into a shanty town then I will consider taking them seriously (but only considere it
)
Give me $700,000 dollars a year of taxpayer money and I’m sure I could find as many equally stupid things to say.
The British ought to let the Royals go, and make them earn their own money.
What is wrong with living in a nice, middle class 3 bedroom rambler with an attached garage? Slums without sanitation and mansions with 5 bathrooms for every occupant are so extreme, they are evidence of insanity on both ends. There is no reason ANYONE should have to live in filth and disease. There is no reason ANYONE needs to live in towering mansions where most of the rooms never even get walked into for months at a time. Extremes on both ends. I live in a modest home and I am cozy, comfortable, happy, content, and my conscience is clear. Prince Charles apparently has a guilty conscience and he is overcompensating by descending into madness. And yes, inbreeding probably has played a part.
Why do you think HRH won’t give up her throne? As for losing his marbles, the way he talks, I think you’ll find them in his mouth.
Ever since Charles told Camilla he wished he was her tampon (while married to Lady Diana…remember?), I have known he was crazy. It is astonishing that his two sons are pretty normal. (Actually, his one son. Prince Harry is obviously the son of that horse groomer that Diana had an affair with. Have you ever seen a picture of him along side that guy? There is no question. It is the huge elephant in the palace.)
A picture of Harry and his real daddy…

Harry does bear a resemblance to James Hewitt, but Diana met him when both boys were toddlers. Diana’s elder sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale is a red head.
I know that is what Diana said, but do we know for sure she didn’t meet him earlier? I also know that there are other red heads in the family. But just look at that picture! I mean, the resemblance is quite striking…the smile, the nose, the chin.
I have engaged in plenty of risky behaviour in my lifetime, but even for me, living in that type of environment would spook me out.
There is no way Prince Harry is Prince Charles’ son. That whole royal family belongs on The Jerry Springer Show.
I guess the answer died with Diana. A lot of the landed gentry can trace their roots back to dalliances with Royal lovers. I once worked with a girl who claimed to be the 13th cousin to the Queen, on the wrong side of the sheets, of course.
Wow. England has their very own Sheryl Crow in a castle.
Not to nitpick Doug, but I think there is an erroneous implication here that the royal roundhead started with multiple marbles. Don’t think I’ve ever heard him say anything amounting to more than a brain f@rt.
Perhaps this is why they say “God save the queen!” That or they end up with King Kooky.
Harry may or may not be Charles’s son, but he looks exactly like Diana’s brother. I noticed the striking resemblance when I watched the funeral ceremony, at which the brother gave a eulogy.
I think HRH Elizabeth II won’t step down because she knows Charles is certifiable.
Another brick to add to the mountain of compelling evidence the culture of the elites of the Western World is completely disconnected from reality.
No one said to him somewhere along the way, “Hey, Chuck, old pal, that’s just plain nuts.”
Not really. She knows he is detested. Perhaps she understands he is detestable. It’s unlikely she understands he’s nuts. She runs in the same psychotic circles.
At age 61, he is still a PRINCE.
Ascendancy to a King’s throne remains illusion, false HOPE.
Queen Mum is till going strong.
Being a Christian from a civilized nation, he can not overthrow his mum.
It is clearly bugging him.
Anyone would go insane in his shoes!
Sorry, take it back.
Only the Royal breed would go insane.
Worse than this bozo hypocrite are those who take him seriously.
Are you saying Eco-madness is a result of exposure to pony farts?
Very interesting.
Apparantly wearing Camilla’s panties destroys brain cells.
Did anyone need more proof that AGW is the new slavery of the masses?
Global warming elites will live in giant estates, the rest of us will live in the back part of the property in mud huts without utilities.
Prince Charles will be the last British monarch. There will be no more after him, because Great Britain will collapse relatively soon.
Rent “The Madness of King George” sometime and muse on the fact that this guy is a descendent. Gives new flavor to the word “descend”
Lord, Lord please don’t let Barack hear about Charles wonderful environmental ideas because he’ll tell Nancy and she’ll talk to Harry and all the dems will answer the call like they did on Obamacare and they will make me take a shower. I don’t take showers now to save water and the Environment. My wife left last week, something to do about our environment.
Their mohammedan overlords won’t make Charles Caliph in Chief? As Defender of the Saxon Shore I guess Little Chucky doesn’t have much to do.
In other news, Eliot Spitzer is planning on writing a book about marital fidelity, calling Mark Sanford a “model husband”.
Gosh Chuck then we can all star in the “Slum dogs et al” just for you!! Hell, you can look down and relive the times past of the Master and Peasant, thank you so much for caring you sanctimonious SOB.
NatGeo might want to check that 18,000 people per acre stat; I think they got that one wrong (unless they all sleep standing-up). Maybe they meant a hectare, but even that seems too small an area.
Hint:
When referring to His Imperial Importancess “Sanctimonious SOB” should be capitalized
Now that the royal family’s finances have been taken away from them, they should take the next step and take away their endless supply of food stamps and housing subsidies. Maybe if they worked for a living they would have a clue.
I met HRH once at a cocktail party. I thought he was a twit. He still is.
Ever wonder why the QUEEN doesn’t step aside, even at her advanced age??? Wonder no more… The butter has really slipped of this MORON’S muffin!!!
This is exactly what they want; to destroy the middle class and force us to live in unsanitary, inhumane rat warrens in the name of the “planet.” The diseases will kill off many of us, reducing the population.
Thank you, Oliver Cromwell and the Founding Fathers…without you, this nut would have real political power over our lives.
Britain needs to make a statement and put the man in prison for having too large a carbon footprint.
And don’t forget that [up]Chuck, Gore, and the rest of our betters will still live in huge mansions and jet around the world for ‘luncheons’ on their private Jets.
I get the feeling that the condom he uses as a hat was a bit tight when he wrote this.
All I have to say to the Idiot Prince is….
You first pal.
I’ll live in whatever kind of home I can afford to live in. Be it a house of many bedrooms or a studio apt. That’s my choice.
And by the way. Somewhere in the Obama Agenda is some sort of “Housing Control”.
What is that?
It’s where he dictates what forms of housing are to be built. No more 6 bedroom 4-1/2 bath McMansions for you!!! No more 5 to 10 acre lots!!!! You and your family (if you’re permitted to have those carbon spewing children) will live in this 800 sq ft government designed multi-family home or apartment, built by Union labor of course.
They’re doing it with cars.
Homes are next. Mark my words.
And if Sheryl Crow moves there I wonder what she’ll do when she disovers that one square is one square more than you get in a Mumbai shantytown? (Does Time magazine deliver there?)
Back in 1997, Princess Diana and Mother Teresa died five days apart. I couldn’t help but compare their lives. Diana caring for the less fortunate consisted of a bunch of photo ops. Mother Teresa lived among the poor, caring for them. The royals are so removed from reality. Old Charles is struggling to leave a legacy while his whole life has been irrelevant. I’m sure he hoped this book would show the world what a great guy he is. Dunce!
I hereby promise to never live in a house larger than the one Prince Charles lives in. There, I feel like I’ve done my part now.
