Prince Charles is nuttier than the proverbial fruitcake
This one’s going to make the Queen of England proud. Her son, Charles, Prince of Wales and King of Fools, is committed to the environment and equally committed, it appears, to proving that he’s insane.

Australia’s Nine Network has the strange details:
Convincing evidence that inbreeding is a terrible thing
In a remarkably candid interview for a BBC documentary, Prince Charles dismisses suggestions he is “loony” but confesses to lying on the floor at his Highgrove home to eavesdrop on visitors.
During the hour-long program, he is seen wandering around the extensive grounds of the Gloucestershire estate with gardener Alan Titchmarsh.
According to the News of the World, he tells the presenter: “I got a lot of flack for a lot of things. I mean, bewildered, frankly, as though you were doing something positively evil.
“I mean potty this, and potty that, loony this and loony that.”
But he admits: “I have eavesdropped on what the visitors have said.”
He reportedly tells Titchmarsh: “When they’re going round outside the windows sometimes you’ve got to lie on the floor.”
And he describes speaking to shrubbery as something which keeps him “relatively sane”.
“I happily talk to the plants and the trees, and listen to them. I think it’s absolutely crucial,” he is reported to say.
Does anyone know if Charles’ parents are brother and sister? That might explain the whole thing.
