Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “The Queen slams world leaders and is ‘irritated’ by those who ‘talk but don’t DO’ ahead of Cop26” – below is their description.
EXCLUSIVE: The Queen was speaking to the Duchess of Cornwall and the Welsh Parliament’s presiding officer when she was overheard saying she was ‘irritated’ by world leaders who ‘talk but don’t do’. The 95-year-old monarch referred to the upcoming Cop26 climate change conference in Glasgow , which she and other senior royals are due to attend. She said: ‘Extraordinary isn’t it… I’ve been hearing all about Cop… still don’t know who is coming… no idea. The Queen, who was using a walking stick in public for the second time this week, expressed the remarks emphatically and gesticulated with her gloved hand. The remarks, although also made in a public setting, were not political – simply a personal expression of frustration at inaction on climate change. Among those still not confirmed to attend the UN’s Cop26 conference, which starts on October 31, are Australian prime minister Scott Morrison, Chinese president Xi Jinping (bottom centre), and Russian leader Vladimir Putin (top centre). Indian prime minister Narendra Modi (bottom right) and Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro (top right) have also not committed to being in Glasgow for the event. The remarks came after earlier this week Prince William (inset) hit out at billionaires such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos for pioneering space tourism over repairing the planet.
