Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, claimed this week that the pandemic from the novel Wuhan coronavirus was punishment from “Mother Nature” sending humanity to its room for ravaging the Earth.
“Somebody said to me at the beginning of the pandemic, it’s almost as though Mother Nature has sent us to our rooms for bad behavior to really take a moment and think about what we’ve done,” the 36-year-old British prince said in a recent interview with WaterBear, an environmental documentary platform. “[The pandemic has] certainly reminded me about how interconnected we all are, not just as people but through nature… We take so much from her and we rarely give a lot back.”
The prince went on the urge people to act like raindrops to heal a breaking planet.
“Every single raindrop that falls from the sky relieves the parched ground,” he said. “What if every single one of us was a raindrop, and if every single one of us cared?”
