It has come to royal fans' attention that Prince Charles, 70, not only plants trees but also “shakes hands” with them to “wish them well.”

Prince Charles made the revelation when he shared a list of 70 facts about himself on his website. The funny fact was then shared by @qikipedia on instagram, and sent royal fans on the social media platform into a frenzy.

“That’s the most British thing I’ve ever heard,” wrote one Twitter user. 

“I don't beleaf it 😂,” wrote another. 

Some fans found the tidbit to be sweet, with one commenting she thinks it’s “quite lovely.”

His official website released the list of facts last year to celebrate the Prince’s 70th birthday. 

“The Prince often carries out tree planting ceremonies during engagements,” the 70th fact reads. “After planting each tree, HRH gives a branch a friendly shake to wish them well.”

That wasn’t, however, the first time Prince Charle’s fondness for trees became apparent to the world. According to the Sun, the 70-year-old admitted in a 1986 interview that he talks to trees he plants in order to help them grow. 

"I just come and talk to the plants, really – very important to talk to them,” Charles explained. “They respond."
