King Charles' environmentally friendly car, an Aston Martin DB6 Volante, was loaned to son Prince William to drive Kate Middleton on their wedding day in 2011.
"Did you know he had an ejector button in his Aston Martin? Probably not," the royal photographer chuckled to Fox News Digital. Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
"He’s got this beautiful Aston Martin that runs on biofuel, which is basically surplus wine and cheese whey, which is pretty incredible," Jackson said. "He’s obviously very passionate about the environment, [and] he’s got this beautiful car, a DB6 Volante Aston Martin, that’s environmentally friendly."
The king, who has been a longtime advocate of sustainable living, bought the car in 1970. He converted it to run on biofuels, which uses ethanol created from cheese-making whey and wine. He loaned his beloved vehicle to son Prince William, who used it to drive his bride, Kate Middleton, from their nuptials in 2011.
