Prince Harry admits about King Charles that he works hard

Prince Harry acknowledges that King Charles puts forth a lot of effort.

The Duke of Sussex praises his father for taking his work seriously and spending nights thinking about it in his memoir Spare.

He started: "Pa had always been a worker. He believed in work. Everyone must work, he often said. But his own work was also a kind of religion, because he was furiously trying to save the planet. He’d been fighting for decades to alert people to climate change, never flagging, despite being cruelly mocked by the press as a Henny Penny."

He added: "Countless times, late at night, Willy and I would find him at his desk amid mountains of bulging blue postbags—his correspondence. More than once we discovered him, face on the desk, fast asleep. We’d shake his shoulders and up he’d bob, a piece of paper stuck to his forehead."
