The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “The Queen tells Cop26: ‘Rise above politics, for the sake of our children’” – below is their description.
The Queen told world leaders at Cop26 they must act now for the sake of “our children, and our children’s children” as she acknowledged that “none of us will live forever”.
Her Majesty, 95, spoke warmly of the role that her “dear late husband”, the Duke of Edinburgh, played in the campaign against climate change.
She used the video address to make her most significant intervention on the environment to date, urging delegates to “rise above the politics of the moment and achieve true statesmanship” by taking action.
The recording was made at Windsor Castle on Friday afternoon, after the Queen was forced to pull out of a planned appearance at the Glasgow climate conference on doctors’ orders, having been advised to rest for two weeks.
