Today hosts mock Prince Charles for 'pompous, privileged' climate change efforts

has received a royal roasting by Australian breakfast show Today over his bizarre confession about running his vintage car on 'cheese and wine'. The Prince of Wales spoke to the about on Monday, boasting how he'd converted his Aston Martin, which was gifted to him by on his 21st birthday, to run on 'surplus English white wine' and whey from cheese production. The Today presenters couldn't help but mock the 72-year-old's seemingly out of touch sentiments on Tuesday, 'He's giving back to the environment,' co-host Karl Stefanovic dryly added. Newsreader Alex Cullen, an outspoken republican, could barely hide his contempt for the royal environmentalist. 'He's relatable? Is that what you're going to try and tell me? With an Aston Martin that runs on wine and cheese? Pompous, privileged peanuts!' he said. Stefanovic jokingly corrected him: 'No, its not peanuts, it's cheese!' Charles's car actually runs on a fuel called Charles also said he understands the frustrations of young people and climate activists such as Greta Thunberg because they feel like 'nobody listens'. Elsewhere, he revealed he doesn't eat meat and fish on two days a week and dairy on one day, saying: 'If more people did that it would reduce a lot of the pressure on the environment.'
