Queen Expresses Pride in Charles and William’s Climate Change Efforts

In a heartfelt speech, II expressed her immense pride in her son Prince Charles and grandson for their tireless work in raising awareness about the climate crisis.

However, noticeably absent from her statement was any mention of .

The Queen also paid tribute to her late husband, , highlighting his decades-long fight against global warming, a cause that Charles and William have taken up.

During the summit, the monarch acknowledged the hard work of her fellow heirs, stating, “It is a source of great pride to me that the leading role my husband played in encouraging people to protect our fragile planet lives on through the work of our eldest son Charles and his eldest son William.

I could not be more proud of them.”

While the Queen praised Charles and William, has also been vocal about the need for climate change action.

Recently, he hosted Global Citizens Live in New York, where he emphasized the importance of sustainable living.

However, critics were quick to point out the perceived hypocrisy of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as they have been seen boarding private jets despite their calls for environmental responsibility.

Royal commentator Robert Jobson criticized Harry and Meghan, writing, “Prince Harry and his wife have taken a staggering 21 private jets on crucial visits in the last two years, while continuing to preach about the impact of climate change to those who could never afford to put one foot in such a swanky jet.”

The absence of Prince Harry from the Queen's accolades may be attributed to his withdrawal from royal life and his decision not to attend the COP26 climate conference in Scotland.

It is possible that these factors influenced the Queen's choice to focus solely on Charles and William's efforts.

The Queen, unable to attend the climate talks in Glasgow due to doctors' orders, addressed world leaders via a recorded video message from Windsor Castle.

Wearing a green dress and a butterfly brooch, she highlighted the significance of the talks taking place in Glasgow, once the heartland of Britain's industrial revolution.

Her Majesty also acknowledged the individuals who have taken up the cause of climate change in their own lives, including young people.

She emphasized the challenges ahead but expressed hope in the power of collective action, stating, “Working side by side, we have the ability to solve the most insurmountable problems and to triumph over the greatest of adversities.”

The Queen concluded her speech by urging world leaders to move beyond words and take concrete action.

She emphasized that the benefits of these actions may not be enjoyed by the current generation, but rather by future generations.

She wished the leaders every success in this significant endeavor.

Following her video message, it was revealed that the Queen had been hospitalized but has since been discharged.

The stay was kept confidential, with confirmation only coming after it was reported by the media.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson assured the public that Her Majesty was in good spirits, stating, “I spoke to Her Majesty and she's on very good form.

She's just got to follow the advice of her doctors and get some rest, and I think that's the important thing.”

As the world continues to grapple with the urgent issue of climate change, the Queen's words serve as a reminder of the importance of collective action and the responsibility we have to future generations.
