Prince Charles: The Green Prince
He is known as The Green Prince. Well, not because Prince Charles looks green (like Kermit the Frog maybe) but because he is one of those people who do try out and use alternative energy vehicles.
A couple of days back, the Prince was seen riding in a couple of the newest eco-friendly vehicles there are in the market right now. Reports also did say that he took a drive (and a ride) in four vehicles - a BMW Hydrogen 7 Series, a Ford Focus Cell, a Saab Bio-Power 9-3 convertible, and a Honda Civic Hybrid.
He also did have a Jaguar (painted navy blue) upgraded just last March. Now, the vehicle runs on biofuel. He also has in his garage other eco-friendly vehicles - two Jaguars and one Audi.
Well, that may be good news especially for people who are calling out to public people like the Prince to show to ordinary folks just how important it is that we do our share in keeping our environment (and air) clean.

Glad you picked up on the royal launch story. Just to clarify: HRH is very interested in the efforts being made by the motoring industry to evolve towards zero emission vehicle technology. He kindly took up our invitation to preview some of the vehicles that took part in the first Revolve Eco-Rally World Environment Day.
Check out our gallery for more photos and videos of HRH plus the other celebrities and dignitaries who drove low emission prototypes and production vehicles from Brighton to London. http://www.revolve.ws/media
