The Prince of Wales wrote a children's book based on stories he used to tell his younger brothers, Princes Andrew and Edward. It's called The Old Man of Lochnagar, and it was even animated into a short film you can watch above.
His talents don't stop here, either. Prince Charles enjoys painting with watercolors, and some of his works are currently on display at The Garrison Chapel at Chelsea Barracks, in London. This exhibition will go on until February 14 and is free of entrance fees - you can simply show up! The works are mainly landscape paintings. He began painting them back in the 70s as a student in Scotland. His interest in art isn't just a hobby either. He co-founded The Prince's Drawing School and made millions selling prints of his works.
If you'd like to visit the Prince's current art exhibition, you can find more details about it by clicking here.
There's an animal species named after His High Royal Highness, and it's not a Royal Penguin. A new species of the Ecuadorian tree frog was discovered in 2012, and it is named Hyloscirtus princecharles, or the Prince Charles stream treefrog. This was done to honor the Prince's rainforest conservation work. Prince Charles set up the Rainforest Project in 2007 as a charity and awareness campaign, and he also holds The Prince’s Foundation, which fosters sustainable living worldwide.
