The Day Charles's Aerosol Ban Hurt Diana's Beauty Routine

At just 21 years old, Prince Charles kicked off his environmental stance with a major speech. His interest in the environment grew, and when he married Diana in 1981, it led to some unique challenges. Diana loved her beauty products, especially her aerosol hair spray, but Charles had different ideas. He was concerned about the ozone layer and decided to ban aerosols in their household. This move didn't sit well with Diana, who thought Charles was being a bit extreme. She even joked that she thought he'd gone mad. Charles wasn't shy about sharing his views on the environment. At an awards ceremony in 1988, he admitted his strict stance on aerosols caused issues at home. He even acknowledged the difficulty in finding good alternatives for hair spray. As time went on, Charles continued to champion environmental causes, from speaking out against single-use plastics to raising awareness about the depletion of the ozone layer. He's become known for his forward-thinking views on environmental issues, even if they caused some tension at home. Recently, he addressed world leaders about the urgent need to protect the environment for future generations. Sitting in a high-profile dinner during a conference on saving the ozone layer, Charles stressed the seriousness of environmental issues, comparing the Earth to a garbage dump. His strong stance on the environment has earned him several awards and led him to found The Prince's Trust, which helps communities and businesses adopt sustainable practices.
