Prince Charles to appear on The One Show to discuss importance of hedgerows

The Prince of Wales will be appearing on The One Show this evening to discuss the importance of hedgerows.

Prince Charles, 73, is Patron of the Hedgelaying Society and is a supporter of the traditional craft that is undertaken to maintain hedges around the UK.

He will be interviewed by ecologist and presenter Mike Dilger, who will be learning and asking about the need for the shrubs for the environment and the countryside.

It is not a live interview and was filmed back on December 4 last year at an hedgelaying event hosted by Prince Charles.

Around 50 hedgelayers took part in the competition that took place on the Highgrove Estate.

"They’re a vital part of the landscape, they hold the soil together in many ways, prevent erosion, flooding and they link up woods," Prince Charles explained.

The upcoming interview comes after it was revealed that Prince Charles has a few specific requests when it comes to his nighttime routine.

As a royal, he has a team of people to assist him with everything he may need from cooking meals to running baths.

The insight into his routine was once revealed by Princess Diana's friend and former butler Paul Burrell, who worked closely with the family in the 1990s.

Speaking during Amazon Prime's documentary Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm, Mr Burrell revealed: "His pyjamas are pressed every morning and his shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron."

According to Mr Burrell, Prince Charles also has specific requests for his morning bath.

He also told the documentary: "The water temperature has to be just tepid, and only half full.”

The former butler also said that Prince Charles needs his bath plug facing a specific direction, his bath towel arranged to his taste and his underwear mustn't have a single crease.

His routine requests don't take away from his fight against climate change.

The Prince has warned 'the eyes of our children and grandchildren are judging us' as he urged everyone to take immediate action to tackle the environmental issue.

In an essay for Newsweek at the beginning of January, he said he hoped the start of a new year would herald a new beginning for efforts to address the climate emergency, believing “there is not a moment to lose."

He said: "The eyes of our children and grandchildren are judging us. The world is on the brink….and we need the mobilizing urgency of a war-like footing if we are to win."

The One Show airs at 7pm on BBC One.
