Prince William is expected to break the royal rule of his father, King Charles, which the monarch has followed since at least 1994.
According to a report by the Guardians, King Charles considers wind farms to be a blot on the landscape and has opposed the construction of onshore wind farms on the territory of the Duchy of Cornwall.
The monarch once said he feared Britain would end up like Denmark, “knee-deep in this damned stuff.”
The report further claims that the Prince of Wales, who inherited the Duchy of Cornwall estate from his father, is now considering reversing his effective ban on royal lands.
The future king could overturn King Charles's wind farm ban by ordering a review of renewable energy in the state.
William sees wind turbines as one of the changes to the Duchy of Cornwall's estate to tackle the climate crisis.
Commenting on the report, royal expert Richard Palmer tweeted: “Since at least 1994, King Charles has opposed onshore wind farms, believing them to be a “horrendous blot on the landscape.”
“There has never been a wind farm on the territory of the Duchy of Cornwall, but under the reign of Prince William a re-evaluation has been carried out.”
