Prince Charles Shares ‘Secrets’ About His Life At Buckingham Palace In Documentary

Prince Charles recently opened up about his childhood in the documentary “Gardeners’ World.”

Host Adam Frost interviewed the Duke of Cornwall about how his love for gardening came about, and he said that it all started when he was a young boy living in the Buckingham Palace.

“I suspect it was probably party to do with my grandmother’s wonderful garden at Royal Lodge. It was where I spent a lot of my childhood. And I remember being absolutely riveted as a child wondering about in little paths and things and looking at all the plants,” he said (via Express).

Prince Charles also shared what it was like growing up in the palace with his sister Princess Anne.

“As children, my sister and I had a little plot at the back of somewhere in the Buckingham Palace garden where we grew vegetables and things… I grew to love trees. They fascinated me,” he said.

Towards the end of his conversation with Frost, the host asked Prince Charles what his biggest fear is at the moment.

“Well, the biggest fear is that we are left with a wasteland here. Having seen more and more of these pests, particularly from the far east coming in, there are all of these caterpillars and they all have these extraordinary names. One thing after another,” he said.

Prince Charles’ full interview on “Gardeners’ World” will air on BBC 2 on Friday at 3 p.m. EDT.

In related news, the future king recently made headlines after reports swirled that he and Prince William purposely snubbed President Donald Trump. But a spokesperson for the palace said that there is no truth to such claims.

“In line with standard practice for the guest of government visits the president was received by the Queen as the Head of State. The arrangements were mutually agreed upon between the palace and the U.K. and U.S. governments. There was never a suggestion that other members of the royal family would take part,” the spokesperson told People.
