Coronavirus: Prince Charles says he has 'easily'

Nov 23,2023 3:41 pm

The Prince of Wales has said that he "got away with it, it's very easy," when he contracted coronavirus at the beginning of the UK epidemic in March.

Prince Charles, 71, self-isolated after testing positive for The Virus , and only experienced mild symptoms.

Speaking on Sky News , He Said : "I was lucky in My Case . But I did it, and I can understand what Other People are going through. "

He expressed sympathy with those who had lost family or friends.

"I feel especially for those who have lost loved ones and to be able to have been with you at The Time . For me, the gruesome thing," said The Prince .

"to prevent that this happens to so many people, so I'm sure they can find a Way Out of this. "

Prince Charles, The Heir to The Throne , recovered from coronavirus after his Seven Days of quarantine at his Birkhall home on The Royal Balmoral estate. The Duchess of Cornwall, 72, has been tested and does not have The Virus .

He Said : "I can't tell you how much I sympathize with The Way to endure that everyone has, with this incredibly testing and challenging time. "

The Prince said The Experience made him slide even more determined "and yell and prod," he called, As If the nature of the "centre of the economy".

"Before this, nature was pushed to the peripheries, which we have exploited and excavated, and cut down everything like there was No Tomorrow , As If it doesn't matter. "

Without learning from the pandemic, He Said , that we may be facing a similar threat in The Future : "the more we destroy nature, the more we destroy the biodiversity, the more we set ourselves to this kind of danger.

"We had these other disasters, Sars, and Ebola, and God knows what else, and all these things are in relation to The Loss of biological diversity. So we need to find a way This Time to the nature of the back in the center. "

The Prince is surfing a great, green wave

He calls it - perhaps rather hopefully, "The Great Reset": to take a Chance, something good from this crisis.

Prince Charles is not only eco-voice are; from where you will be amazed about The Sound of birdsong in the last couple of months, pushing those to Change to sustainable transport, there is a green wave, to surf the The Prince .

The Prince is no mere followers of fashion; he has been (as he once put it in a broadcast-chat with his son Prince Harry ), "knock" on The Environment for More Than four decades.

It means that his words on this subject are often dismissed as same old, same old.

focus But there is a new urgency in this interview, and a dullness; disasters, he says, the spirit. The current generation and those before, he says, did so, As If there was No Tomorrow .

And there is a dispute. Not everyone sees The Planet as a sick patient in need of care.

Others charged with the Herculean task of restoring the shattered economies with trade-offs around protection and fast people back in jobs.

Prince Charles has mellowed with age, not power politics, to throw hand grenades into The Public sphere.

burning, But on The Future of The Earth , his passion is still bright. And it is clear that he believes that there is a moment when Change is possible; he is determined to try and drive that Change .
