I HAD to switch off Prince Charless speech at the Davos summit this week.
Just 24 hours after Trump (distraction from impeachment work) and Thunberg (distraction from homework) made blatantly political statements at the World Economic Forum, our future king was doing the same thing.
Prince Charles is desperate to take ownership of the fact he was on the climate change bandwagon before Greta Thunberg was a twinkle in the eye of her fame-hungry mother
Whenever will he learn?
His family is currently in the midst of its biggest crisis since Princess Dianas death.
The Queen is 93, with a very ill husband.
The time has come for this man to step up and save the monarchy, not continue with his overtly political passion projects.
POLITICAL ISSUE
The environment and talking to plants have been hobbies for Charles for many years.
He is desperate to take ownership of the fact he was on this bandwagon before Greta Thunberg was a twinkle in the eye of her fame-hungry mother.
But thats not the bloody point.
Hes not running for office. And climate change, whether the prince wants to acknowledge it or not, is an innately political issue.
Two of the worlds biggest players the US and China are nowhere close to where we are on the so-called crisis.
Its up to Boris Johnson to criticise them and for Charles to calm them down with ceremonial State visits.
Sure, Charles should be offering his support and sympathy to the people of Australia impacted by bushfires, for example.

Perhaps he could even visit the area and talk about the damage.
But offering a ten-point solution politicians should enact is insane especially given he flew to Davos on a 15,000 private jet trip that emitted six tonnes of carbon.
If the hypocritical prince is so impetuous that he cant see the time has come for his role to change, I genuinely fear for the Royal Family.
The last thing the country needs is another two-bit political wannabe trying to gain popularity on the back of Greta.
What we desperately need is a future king who can bring us together beyond politics and beyond the embarrassing PR mess engulfing his family.
A ringer for the ginger winger
ORLANDO BLOOM will voice Prince Harry in a comedy cartoon called The Prince for US broadcaster HBO, which is set to poke fun at our calamitous royals.
I hope the actor has put in the hours perfecting how to whinge relentlessly.
