As it happens, the one thing I do like about Charles is his concern for the environment, and in particular for farming, and it's role in the environment.
And I like the fact that, due to his wealth and position, he can speak his mind, unlike elected politicians. And sadly, that will not continue if he becomes King.
Incidentally, I was concerned about the environment before the tree huggers as well. I was in Friends of the Earth when I was at school in the 70s.

Not certain, but I seem to remember reading she was a driver when she was on war service.

Heh, our lass gets peeed off when she has to drive ... absolutely hates it and only drives when trains or buses don't go where she's going to.
She drove my old series once and on a dead straight road couldn't keep it straight! (She learnt to drive in a brand new Focus) She hasn't driven any other Landrovers since, and says she won't unless it's an emergency ..

Quite the opposite here. NB is always saying how bored she gets as a passenger, and why don't I pull over and let her drive.
And she insists on driving her landrover, even when it adds hours to the day due to it's slow speed, and costs twice as much in fuel as a car!
Her Mag was officially a Driver/Mechanic with the Her Dad's Corps of Transport, and a zillion years ago she popped out to say hello to a couple of us who had parked our Series I and a IIA on the side of the road for a brew up, when she turned up in a SIII, and stopped for a chat ... about Landies!
Courser, being peasants, we hasd no idea who that dear little middle-aged, knowledgable lady was until someone in a suit approached and asked if everything was OK and that Her Magesty sends her thanks and regards for the chat, alondg with her apologies for not accepting a brew!
When we got further along the road we saw a sign for 'Windsor', and even then we didn't really twig!

There's a story about the queen going for a walk in the grounds of Balmoral. She had a member of security walking with her. Met someone along the way and stopped for a brief chat. Gave them directions. They then asked if she'd met the queen. She said no but he has. Meaning the security man. She then continued on her walk.

Good idea that. Best not to upset the ole queen. It'll only start abusing yer. I didn't watch the wedding either.
