Yelling at his horse - a glimpse of his real personality. He and Camilla have since married and of course Diana was killed (very conveniently) in a car crash. Camilla is a fellow fox hunter and laughed with glee as a bull was being tortured to death at a bullfight. This tells me all I need to know about her. Diana is back to haunt them in The Crown. I am glad he speaks out about the environment. It doesn't make any sense to me that he speaks to plants yet he will happily chase terrified foxes to the point of exhaustion and watch them being ripped apart by hounds.

Haven't we evolved beyond royalty and aristocracy, I think the only people who want to maintain it, are those who benefit from the false superiority it bestows.
