He has been an enthusiastic advocate for home-grown produce and a principal speaker in the climate change debate. And now Prince Charles is championing the virtues of a natural fibre ''that could be crafted into a wide range of the most beautiful and practical clothing''. This fibre is none other than wool.

Writing in the Telegraph Magazine, the Prince of Wales appealed to people to use wool for clothing and furnishing in favour of synthetics, for its environmental and practical benefits.

He wrote, ''Perhaps because it isn't 'new' and hasn't needed to be invented, we seem to have rather lost sight of the much bigger contribution that wool could, and should, be making in our lives.''

OK, but what happens when it's hot?  I've read about how horribly British Army soldiers suffered down through the years wearing their woolen red uniforms in warmer climates.
