Queen Elizabeth II (95) had too many hollow promises! It can now be heard in the opening broadcast of the Welsh Parliament. The British Queen attended a political event with Duchess Camilla (74) in Cardiff yesterday and exchanged views with her and the head of parliament, Elin Jones, about the upcoming UN climate summit (“Cop 26”). As she stood near the camera, you could hear her frustration through the livestream.
“Isn’t this extraordinary? I hear all about ‘policeman’ all the time. But I don’t even know who is coming. I don’t know », says the queen. «I only know who does not come. I get angry when they just talk and do nothing.” The climate conference will be held in Glasgow, Scotland from 31 October.
Besides the Queen, heads of state such as US President Joe Biden (78) or British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (57) will participate. Chinese President Xi Jinping (68) has canceled his participation. Even Vladimir Putin (69) has yet to confirm whether he will be there – which is clearly spelling trouble for the Queen.
All Royals Committed to the Environment
It is extremely rare for the Queen to take a direct position on political issues. However, environmental protection is clearly important to him. And that runs in the family. His son Prince Charles and his grandsons Prince Harry (37) and Prince William (39) have always campaigned for measures to be taken against the climate crisis.
In a recent interview, William criticized Elon Musk (50) and Jeff Bezos (57), the world’s richest man, for their space companies. “We should really save our planet instead of going to space and looking for a new habitat there,” he said in an interview with the BBC. (KLM)
