Clarence House shares photo of Prince Charles, the Duke of Cornwall with Greta Thunberg.
The Royal attended the World Economic Forum on Wednesday and was spotted shaking hands with world-famous environmental activist Greta Thunberg in Switzerland.
The photo was captioned:
“The Prince of Wales meets environmental activist @GretaThunberg at #wef20.”
Some Royal fans on Twitter shared their thoughts saying:
“I see that the two get on well. Two characters who care about the same thing.” Another tweeted: “Be still my beating heart. I’m not sure who is the luckier of the two to meet [sic]. They are two of my heroes.”
Prince Charles made an oral presentation at the event and also launched his Sustainable Markets Council, which will work towards a more inclusive, equitable and green market for all. Charles has spent his time in Switzerland campaigning for a sustainable future, an approach that the royal has been an advocate of for decades past.
Photos of the meet was shared on the official Clarence House Instagram, with an update on the movements of the royal, and a description of the important World Economic Forum, which is described as being an annual meeting that: “Brings together the world’s leaders to shape global, regional and industry agendas and discuss ways to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the world.”
