Queen Declares Pride in Charles and William’s Climate Change Efforts, While Harry is Notably Absent

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II recently gave a speech at the COP26 climate summit, where she expressed her pride in her son, Prince Charles, and her grandson, Prince William, for their efforts to bring attention to the climate crisis.

However, her other grandson, Prince Harry, was notably missing from her statement.

The Queen praised Charles and William for continuing the work that her late husband, Prince Philip, had started decades ago in the fight against global warming.

Speaking to the summit, she said, “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 Prince Harry has been vocal about climate change action, most recently when he hosted Global Citizens Live in New York, he was not mentioned in the Queen's accolades.

Harry's absence from the event and his withdrawal from royal life may have contributed to his grandmother's decision not to mention him.

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been criticized for their own lifestyle choices, which contradict their advocacy for sustainable living.

They have been spotted boarding private jets, leading fans and critics to call them out over their supposed hypocrisy.

Royal commentator Robert Jobson wrote in his piece for the Mirror, “Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle 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 swanky jet.”

Despite this controversy, the Queen remained focused on the importance of addressing climate change.

She paid homage to those who have taken on the climate crisis in their own lives, including youngsters, and urged world leaders to work together to create a safer, stabler future for our people and planet.

Her Majesty was unable to attend the climate talks in Glasgow after she cancelled all public engagements on doctors' orders.

Wearing a green dress and butterfly brooch, she instead spoke to the summit via video link recorded at Windsor Castle.

Addressing the world leaders via video, she added, “In the coming days, the world has the chance to join in the shared objective of creating a safer, stabler future for our people and for the planet on which we depend.

None of us underestimates the challenges ahead.

But history has shown that when nations come together in common cause, there is always room for hope.”

The 95-year-old monarch ended her speech by telling the world leaders that the time for words has now moved to the time for action.

She added, “Of course, the benefits of such actions will not be there to enjoy for all of us here today.

We none of us will live forever.

But we are doing this not for ourselves but for our children and our children's children, and those who will follow in their footsteps.

And so, I wish you every good fortune in this significant endeavor.”

Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, spoke highly of the Queen's resilience and spirit during her recent hospitalization.

He told Channel 4 News, “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.

I think the whole country wishes her well.”

In conclusion, the Queen's speech at COP26 highlighted the importance of addressing climate change and praised her son and grandson for their efforts in this regard.

While Prince Harry was not mentioned, the Queen's message of hope and action resonates with people around the world.
