“Yes, sometimes he talks to his plants,' Katy Perry said of Prince Charles. 'He asked me if I could sing to his plants, and I will in the future, you have my word, sir'

Prince Charles has just appointed Perry, a 35-year-old American, to be ambassador of the British Asian Trust, a charity he founded to combat inequality, poverty, and human trafficking in South Asia.
The future king of England is famously devoted to his plants and trees, conversing with them the way people might with their own children. In her address on Wednesday, Perry confirmed that “yes, sometimes he talks to his plants” and continued, “He asked me if I could sing to his plants, and I will in the future, you have my word, sir.” Hmmm, a quid pro quo, do we think?
This princely habit has been well documented: Charles was reportedly “labeled … as looney and eccentric” when word first got out that he talked to his plants, a thing he may have started doing as early as the 1970s. In 2013, he told BBC One’s Countryfile that he sometimes goes so far as to “instruct” his flora. The Duke of Cornwall apparently also makes sure to shake the hand of every tree he plants, “to wish it well.
Communicating with his little green wards helps them not only to grow but to flourish, the prince reportedly believes. Perhaps he thinks having a Grammy-nominated artist sing to them will be especially edifying for his garden. Then again, a British musician with South Asian heritage could do that same job. Perhaps Prince Charles just really loved “Roar.”
