3 became the legal heir to the throne. He waited for 64 years. His mother Elizabeth II became the longest-standing monarch in Britain, and he also became the longest-standing crown prince in Britain.
According to the British monarchy, Charles is the absolute heir to the throne. However, Queen Elizabeth, 90 years old this year, announced a shocking news: Charles gave up the throne and the throne will be passed directly to her grandson William.

From the ignorant child to the gray-haired old man, Charles still failed to inherit the throne. This news once made his wife Camilla angry.
But Charles didn't take it seriously at all. After all, compared to his interest in the throne, he cared more about his Heglov Manor.
As early as 1980, Charles first entered the countryside of Gloucestershire and completely fell in love with it.
The natural, quiet, fresh and quaint environment made him unable to stop. Six years later, he bought 4.5 million square meters of land here.
originally, in the eyes of other royal members, Charles was a weird person. This time he bought a piece of moss and a piece of barren land, which made people even more certain: this prince is a "madman".
Facing all kinds of rumors, he did not respond, but just silently insisted on working on the land day after day for 30 years.
30 years later, people's doubts were self-defeating in front of the organic farm built by Charles' skillful hands.
"This is simply an artistic miracle of Great Britain." "I am afraid it is difficult to find a second manor in the world that is so technologically developed, low-carbon and environmentally friendly, and yet still beautiful."

When you are taking care of the plants, Charles will also talk to them.
At the beginning of the manor planning, although Charles did not have the concept of "organic agriculture", once you enter the manor, you can feel the "organic" atmosphere everywhere.
cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks are free to stock, replacing mechanical pruning of plants and trees.
The path connecting the residence and the manor is not made of cement or stone slabs, but is covered with small pebbles that are easy to seep and thyme planted beside the road, which specializes in providing food for insects.
also planned a vegetable garden in the manor. With mixed fertilizer extracted from seaweed and purpura family plants and natural fertilizer feed, you can eat organic vegetables, fruits and melons all year round.
The sewage discharge system of the manor is made of reeds. The collected rainwater is used for flushing the toilet and irrigation, and the sewage is repurified into drinking water.

For decades, there have been tens of thousands of big trees growing and planting here. Charles loves trees so much that he loves them very much, and each one cares for them. An ancient pine tree in the manor died, and he specially built a small house to commemorate his "Love Pine".

thirty years ago, people mocked him for his absurd behavior and "waste" the royal family's money to build his own "back garden". However, nowadays, when ecological farming and organic concepts have become the trend of the times and permeated all aspects of life, people seem to realize how far-sighted his choice was.
Now he has long become a leader in organic food in the world. Not only is the environmental protection concept impressing, but his business acumen is also admirable. Ecological agriculture extended by Heglov Manor, as well as food retail company Whole Foods and the organic food department of department stores, are open throughout Europe and the United States.

now has developed more than 230 products in three series of food, personal care products, and home gardening tools.
Not only that, he even wrote this recipe, divided by four seasons, and recommended organic fruits and vegetables suitable for eating in each season.
Some people say that he is a prince, rich and willful, and even suspected of making a show, but who can work in the manor for 30 years and even choose to give up the throne to make a show? (Welcome to follow our TikTok account: What things happen in Sydney or search for "mandage")
Why should we be so passionate about nature? He responded in "Organic Manor Elements": "I can only say that for some reason, I feel that if I don't treat nature well and cannot maintain a balance, she will repay you in the same way."
The gentle prince also hopes to use this to inspire others and protect the rural scenery of England.
In the eyes of many people, the king is the most noble character of the royal family, but this prince who does not love the throne and manor has simplified the complex, treated nature well, loved the true appearance of the world, and was content with peace of mind in the muddy fields.
Although he did not become a king in the political sense, he truly became the king of the "Garden Kingdom".
