| Description | The Queen has criticised world leaders’ inaction on addressing the climate crisis, admitting she is “irritated” by individuals who “talk but don’t do”.
She made the remarks, which were picked up on a livestream, at the opening of the Welsh parliament in Cardiff on Thursday.
During a conversation with the Duchess of Cornwall and Elin Jones, the parliament’s presiding officer, the Queen referred to the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow starting on 31 October, which she is scheduled to attend along with other members of the royal family.
She said: “Extraordinary isn’t it. I’ve been hearing all about Cop ... still don’t know who is coming. No idea.
“We only know about people who are not coming ... It’s really irritating when they talk, but they don’t do.”
Jones replied: “Exactly. It’s a time for doing ... and watching your grandson [Prince William] on the television this morning saying there’s no point going to space, we need to save the Earth.”
The Queen then smiled and said: “Yes, I read about it.” |
