Alongside the message, the post also featured a video montage of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and Clarence House, showcasing the iconic landmarks transitioning from light to darkness.

The initiative, organised by conservation charity the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), aims to raise awareness about the pressing issues of climate change, pollution, and unsustainable practices in plastic and food production.

The night will also see some of the world's most famous buildings plunged into darkness for one hour including the London Eye and the four Tate Museums in London, Liverpool, and Cornwall.

King Charles has long been an advocate for environmental issues and is certain to support the event.
