Is Prince Charles really as environmentally-conscious as he claims to be? A glimpse into his newly renovated Welsh farmhouse may reveal some insight into that debate. The house sits amid a 192-acre organic farm rather than a traditional royal garden. The prince and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, used sustainable products in the reconstruction of their residence, which is in keeping with details released last year that indicated the furniture would be crafted from oak and fir trees from the prince's forests, as well as Charles' plans to run the estate on hydro-electric power generated from a nearby stream.

A reporter taken on tour of the house said it uses a carbon-friendly heating system, and the eco washing powder was spotted on the kitchen draining board. The couple also chose to take the minimalist approach and eschewed the installation of popular household electronics such as televisions and DVD in favor of books about local folklore and guides to local walks in the countryside.

Nobody is actually confirming this residence, located on the Llwynywermod Estate near the village of Myddfai, Carmarthenshire, actually belongs to the Prince and his wife, however the three fathers crest of the Prince of Wales sitting above the fireplace is a pretty big clue as to who will be living there when they visit the area. Renovations will not be completed until early next year however when they are done the house will also act as a B&B (obviously when the couple is away) for those wanting to get a little taste of what royal living looks and feels like.
