King Charles III will not attend U.N. climate change summit
cbs ^ | OCTOBER 2, 2022

The Palace's confirmation came after The Sunday Times reported that conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss objected to Charles attending the conference, known as COP27, when she met with the king last month at Buckingham Palace. The Times' report suggested that Truss' advice had influenced the king's plans. King Charles has attended the conference in the past.

But a member of Truss' Cabinet said the government and palace were in agreement about the decision.

Clarke also rejected suggestions that Truss didn't want Charles to attend the summit because she intends to water down Britain's climate goals. The government remains committed to the achieving its target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, he said.

King Charles would be wise to follow that same tradition.

Time will tell. But I think the real test will be William. If he's a crappy Monarch, the British might go ahead and dismantle the institution. In other words, it doesn't really matter what Charles is going to do in the meantime.

When you are the heir you can be cool, hip and edgy.

When you are the monarch suddenly you represent the country and it is time to put away childish things.

It would be extremely difficult for the King to appear at such a summit and not be seen as expressing a personal political viewpoint give his history as Prince of Wales of being involved in issues related to the environment. As he has to be extremely cautious in expressing any political views except those of His Majesty's Government, it doesn't surprise me that the Prime Minister has apparently advised him not to attend, nor does it surprise me that he has accepted her advice. That is consistent with his constitutional role as King, and I would always expect him to uphold his constitutional role which is different as King, from the role he had as Prince of Wales.

Almost has a look like it is a very rushed photo.

He probably thinks he’ll get sick watching Jo Jo the Pedo sniffing Greta the Swedish Meatball.

The main object ofbit was the portrait of a king that had reigned along time...you can see it was done to frame them all within the lights with the portrait clearly seen between them

They got exactly what they wanted

A good sign on how Charles will handle his new role.

Watch The Windsors: Series 3 | Prime Video

The British ought to recast the actual buffoons with the cast from The Windsors.
