There’s something Prince Charles holds near and dear to his heart. No, it’s not his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, or his children Prince William and Prince Harry or even his mother, Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II—although Charles certainly loves them too.

Its squirrels—red squirrels—that are the apple of the next king of England’s eye.

In a special edition of British magazine Country Life commemorating—and guest edited by—Charles, William revealed his father’s longtime adoration with his furry friends. According to William, Charles is “completely infatuated by the red squirrels” that live around his countryside estate in Scotland. In fact, Charles loves red squirrels so much, William said, “he’s given them names and is allowing them into the house.”

Charles couldn’t deny favoring the animals. “They come into the house at Birkhall and we get them chasing each other round and round inside. If I sit there quietly, they will do so around me,” Charles wrote of the “incredibly special creatures.”

The 70-year-old often keeps treats for squirrels nearby. “Sometimes when I leave my jackets on a chair with nuts in the pockets, I see them with their tails sticking out, as they hunt for nuts,” Charles revealed.

Charles, who is next in line to the British throne, has often used his platform to advocate for squirrel conservation in England, where populations of red and grey squirrels are in heavy decline. The prince launched the Red Squirrel Survival Trust, an effort to conserve red squirrel populations and habitats in Northern England, in 2011.

His mother recently praised Charles and his golden heart for preservation and environmental advocacy during her a speech to him on his birthday on Wednesday. The queen referred to her son as a “champion of conservation and the arts,” “a great charitable leader” and a “wonderful father.”

“It is a privilege for any mother to be able to propose a toast to her son on his 70th birthday. It means that you have lived long enough to see your child grow up. It is rather like—to use an analogy I am certain will find favor—planting a tree and being able to watch it grow,” Elizabeth said.

The Trump Administration has proposed increasing an employer’s right to restrict birth control access to female employees based on religious differences, according to the New York Times. New rules on the measure were revealed this week, which allow an employer to obtain an exemption for providing access to the contraception.

The administration cited public health centers and the family planning program of 1970, under Title X, as a way women can quality for birth control without their employer’s help. The decision to encourage more attendance at healthcare clinics, such as Planned Parenthood, could present a problem, as these clinics are already overbooked and underfunded.

President Donald Trump also proposed axing the requirement that public healthcare clinics must provide information on abortion. The administration noted the Title X funding allowed to these clinics will only be provided to“health care providers who refuse to participate in abortion-related activity such as counseling and referrals,” meaning if a healthcare clinic continues to participate in sharing any information about abortion, they will not be given federal funding.

In May, he told an anti-abortion group his goal was to “prohibit Title X funding from going to any clinic that performs abortions.”

The proposal also notes healthcare clinics are not required to provide every variety of contraception. Employers, however, as of current federal regulation, are required to cover all methods of contraception. It also eliminates the language “medically approved” from the current healthcare provider’s federal stipulation to provide “medically approved family planning methods.”

In August, Trump shortened the funding period for institutions of this nature according to Fortune. Instead of allowing three years of grant-funding, Trump limited the time period to seven months. Many Republicans are against government funding of the public healthcare clinics because some provide abortions. Abortions are not federally funded.

Institutions, like Planned Parenthood, reserve the right to treat lower income patients before anyone else. To be considered a low-income patient, the household income must be below $20,780 for a family of three, according to the New York Times. Trump’s new proposal allows any employee who is rejected birth control through their workplace to automatically identify as a low-income patient.

The Trump administration noted these changes would “preserve conscience protections” while allowing comprehensive, low-cost care to all women.

President and Chief Executive of the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association, Clare Coleman, said these changes would “hijack Title X programs and use their limited federal funds to subsidize employers’ refusal to comply with the contraceptive coverage requirement.”
