This week has been a very busy one for US billionaire Mike Bloomberg.
First he hosted (the eponymous) Bloomberg Philanthropy’s CityLab event in Madrid, alongside his favourite mayor, Sadiq Khan. Then on Thursday he was in New York City to receive King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the September 11th Memorial.
Leaving aside the solemnity of the occasion, it’s certainly not the first time Bloomberg has been close to members of the Royal Family; in fact, he has been highly adept at making inroads over the last decade.
Nowhere is this more obvious than his involvement in the Earthshot Prize, founded by Prince William in 2020, which sees five people or groups awarded £1 million each in prize money for fighting climate change. In addition they are offered “a global network of professional and technical support to scale [their] cutting-edge environmental solutions“.
This is where organisations such as those run by Bloomberg come in. Bloomberg Philanthropies is a “Founding Partner” – meaning it acts as a strategic funding partner – of the Earthshot Prize, along with Amazon, the Bezos Earth Fund and Uber. Bloomberg is also part of Earshot’s “Global Alliance”, which includes C40 Cities (of which Mike Bloomberg is on the board and Sadiq Khan is co-Chair), Common Purpose, Greenpeace, IKEA, the UN Environment Programme, World Economic Forum and WWF.
Furthermore, Mike Bloomberg is a “Global Advisor” to the winners of Earthshot Prize.
Despite many organisations being involved in the Earthshot Prize, you’d think it had become the “Mike Bloomberg and Prince William Prize”. Last year Bloomberg was centre stage in the proceedings, hosting the Earthshot Prize winners and finalists at his headquarters in London:
Prince William was snapped with the words “Bloomberg Philanthropies” in the background – the text larger than that used for the Earthshot Prize.
It was a great win for Brand Bloomberg, but a PR disaster for William who seems to be following in the footsteps of his very political father – the man who decided to activate a “climate countdown clock” with Sadiq Khan shortly after becoming King.
Through their connection to Bloomberg, the Royal Family is inadvertently (or consciously) siding with the Democrat Establishment, of which Bloomberg is very much part. In 2020, for instance, he stood to be the Democrat candidate for the Presidential election, losing out to Biden. He is tied up with the UN and WHO.
Much of Bloomberg’s ambitions have been realised through Khan, who is co-Chair of C40 Cities – a collaboration of cities that are working towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This globalist outfit, as well as having its own awards, is funded by, among others, Bloomberg Philanthropies and Bloomberg is President of the Board of Directors for C40 Cities.
In short, the Royal Family is failing in its duty to uphold political neutrality. Prince William would do well to shed the Earthshot Prize, Mike Bloomberg and avoid the environmental activism of his father.

William concerns me. He is not terribly bright nor well-read. His father is extremely well-read and erudite as was the Duke of Edinburgh. William and Harry, unfortunately, take after their mother.
I am just wondering why this comes as any surprise to anyone?
Yes, it demonstrates the importance that Charlotte Gill’s excellent research be spread far and wide.
It’ll never happen.Chaz and his sprog have chosen their side. I can see Billy being the last monarch, he and his dad are irreparably damaging our monarchic constitution settlement.
Prince Billy should quit his politicking and mental ‘elf bûllshît and concentrate on cutting ribbons and keeping his pie hole clamped.
All the Windsors are weak and feeble minded (Princess Anne aside) The Americans are taken in but not the King’s subjects.
He will become King William the Conqured when he receives the Muhammadan prime minister in 2044. Allah Akhbar, eh Willie. Time
For a Republic
Of course Chuckles has always been in the hoax up to his teeth. His tomatoes told him to crack on with it.
The fact that through that Crown Estates, every pipeline or cable entering the country from the seas has to pay a huge fee to Crown Estates and the current Prince of Wales gets a large chunk of the proceeds may be more persuasive to Charles and William than even the tomatoes.
And don’t forget that when the Climategate revelations of deliberate fraud and malfeasance in the Climate Research Unit was revealed in late 2009, (“Hide the decline”, ” Mike (Mann’s) Nature Trick”, “Kevin and I will keep them out, even if we have to redefine what the peer review literature is!”
It was Charles who ditched all engagements, jumped in his Aston Martin and sped off to Cambridge to kiss away Phil Jones’s little tears.
Anti honesty at its finest.
No wonder Bloomberg, Gates, Hohn, Vince, Gore and the rest love him.
There are no nations anymore, only billionaires and their businesses. How they must scoff at us little people as we prepare to submit to full digital slavery.
Very much agree regarding Western democracies but the BRICS member states (for all their faults) once having got their national and economic independence appear very reluctant to surrender it to global NGOs, trans national corporations, Western activist billionaires and globalist financiers.
It’s up to the uk government to manage Charles & William. Probably they should do more. But Charles did his duty this week. For us & the world. God save the King.
The Mystical Plant Whisperer? NMFK!
I recall that a plant expert said at time Charles talking to his plants was first revealed and that Charles said they “responded”, was because he was breathing out the now dangerous C02 onto said plants.
Absolutely makes sense he’s giving them their food. Probably the one and only sensible thing he’s done in his life.
They are globalists not patriots
This is the problem. These billionaires are like a cancer spreading across the world and taking over the political parties and governments. The population doesn’t even know what is happening, yes some have heard of Dale Vince, but he is a bit player and clown compared to the likes of Bloomberg and, in this country, Christopher Hohn. This is the man funding most of the green activity in this country, who is a mate of David Cameron, employed Rishi Sunak and helps fund the Conservative Environment Network, which is deeply embedded in the Tory party. Labour and Tories are both totally in hoc to wealthy globalists.
And in the US the Far Left Chinese resident billionaire – Neville Roy Singham – funded the 3000 odd May Day socialist protests except for chicago which spent taxpayers money on bussing students to the protests. The whole cost was around $2bn filtered through a network of communist, socialist, Marxist and other far-left organizations, led by chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America and a network of groups – including the People’s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition and Code Pink. Shanghai based Singham has CCP links.
According to Google, “Hohn uses his power as an investor to compel company directors to reduce carbon emissions and adopt better environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, threatening to vote against directors who fail to disclose.”
This is the capitalism of the mob, it’s cartel mentality. The government should make all this illegal and prosecute him, but it won’t because they are part pf the same cabal. He owns them.
The Royal Family’s Far Left Links
Charles is just another puppet of the Soros/Davos global cabal. The nonsense he spewed to the American Congress about “supporting Ukraine forever and ever Amen” was nauseating.
Even HE is brainwashed by ten years of lies and censorship by omission of our media, plus the lies and propaganda of Britain’s MI6, still fantasising about “The Great Game” the British & Russian Empires played with each other across central Asia, as the Russians reached towards India in the 19th century.
Look how relaxed and deliriously happy they are pressing the ‘countdown clock to atmospheric armageddon’..
Charles is a midwit clown, his every flaw cultivated for his flunkies’ advantage
The lack of political neutrality hastening the end of the British monarchy.
“Amazon, the Bezos Earth Fund and Uber. Bloomberg is also part of Earshot’s “Global Alliance”, which includes C40 Cities (of which Mike Bloomberg is on the board and Sadiq Khan is co-Chair), Common Purpose, Greenpeace, IKEA, the UN Environment Programme, World Economic Forum and WWF.” that’s quite the list!
Billionaire funded NGOs should not be allowed to operate in the UK.
The Russians kicked all of Soros’ subversive NGOs out of their country years ago,
Yes. He did perfectly right. We should do the same.
And how would/could you stop them?
Perhaps change the tax rules regarding all foundations/charities? . Most of the overtly politically activist billionaire foundations/charities are tax exempt I believe. Thus, rewrite the rules of what a charity/foundation can and cannot do vis a vis political activism.
The Conspiracy Theory that, “the Western nations have been led by a succession of chosen, trained and placed men and women (looking at you too, Jacinda) installed, ‘by somebody, somehow,’ to lead the West’s destruction,” is looking increasingly more real than theoretical every day.
Silly Willie is more likely to become King Bonkers IV and keep pushing the UK self destruct button.
These organisations, the UN, WEF and all the others add a layer of de facto governance outside the scope of normal democratic control, and that attracts people like our royal family who are not supposed to get involved in politics. Hobnobbing with the world’s richest men gives our silly Willie influence beyond what should be allowed. A government that respects our democracy would stop it.
They’re all globalist monsters trying to hang onto as much power as possible. Power corrupts………..
