King Charles has warned people about the dangers of climate change, and stressed the need to protect the planet for future generations in multiple speeches over the past few years as a senior member of the British royal family.

As COP30 opened in Brazil on Monday, RE:TV,  a platform founded by King Charles, shared a video containing “the most compelling lines” from his speeches on impacts of climate change.

The clip also featured Idris Elba, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close, and Olivia Colman.

The video was shared with a caption that read, “As COP30 begins in Brazil, here at RE:TV we are reminded of our founder’s longstanding commitment to speaking up for the planet.”

The brief message released with the video further said:  “When he was Prince of Wales, our founder His Majesty King Charles III made dozens of speeches highlighting the importance – and urgency – of protecting the natural world.

They span 50 years, but their messages still ring true today.

In 2023, we revisited some of the most compelling lines from these speeches with the help of a cast including Idris Elba, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close, and Olivia Colman.

The King’s vision of a sustainable future inspires everything we do at RE:TV. It is our hope that when we look back at COP30, we will not remark on how little has changed, but how far we have come.”

In episode two of IT: Welcome to Derry, Chris Chalk first appeared as Dick Halloran, which led some fans to believe the character has a deeper meaning.

Now, with episode three having been released, which confirms what some had previously speculated – it is the younger version of Dick – from the 1980 psychological horror movie The Shining. 

In a chat with Variety, the actor says, referring to his character, “Everything I do is going to have some dignity.”

It is worth noting that both The Shining and It are based on Stephen King’s novels.

Meanwhile, Chalk also explains how his portrayal of Dick Hallorann in It: Welcome to Derry differs from Scatman Crothers’ portrayal in the Stanley Kubrick-directed movie, which was criticized for featuring a token Black character.

“He’s literally a Magical Negro,” the star notes. “But the trouble with a Magical Negro is that they’re the only ************ Black person in the movie.”

However, for makers in Welcome to Derry, Chalk adds, they made sure to remove the previous outdated trope. 

Now, Dick is not a background role in the story, and he is part of a group of Black characters in the HBO show.

As he continues, “To already have this huge selection of Black humans in the narrative, not just as props, but as essential to the narrative.” 

“I know we’re going to avoid these tropes, because the trope doesn’t exist if everybody there serves a purpose.”

“I do happen to be a magical Black man, but in a world full of Black people, it doesn’t come off as gross.”

IT: Welcome to Derry is streaming on HBO Max.
