The Queen has criticised world leaders’ inaction on addressing the climate crisis, admitting she is “irritated” by individuals who “talk but don’t do”.
She made the remarks, which were picked up on a livestream, at the opening of the Welsh parliament in Cardiff on Thursday.
During a conversation with the Duchess of Cornwall and Elin Jones, the parliament’s presiding officer, the Queen referred to the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow starting on 31 October, which she is scheduled to attend along with other members of the royal family.
She said: “Extraordinary isn’t it. I’ve been hearing all about Cop ... still don’t know who is coming. No idea.
“We only know about people who are not coming ... It’s really irritating when they talk, but they don’t do.”
Jones replied: “Exactly. It’s a time for doing ... and watching your grandson [Prince William] on the television this morning saying there’s no point going to space, we need to save the Earth.”
The Queen then smiled and said: “Yes, I read about it.”
Among the world leaders still not confirmed to attend the UN’s Cop26 conference are Australian prime minister Scott Morrison, Chinese president Xi Jinping, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, and Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro.
US president Joe Biden has confirmed that he will attend.

Let them eat cake, eh Lizzy?
Her family should lead by example: No more globetrotting.
Who cares what that mad old cow thinks, or her jug-eared inbred son, Charles. The Wndsors are one ugly and depraved family.
Why do I get the sense all these royal elites are trying hard to keep THEIR coffers full via these Climate Change theatrics they all seem to have a role in!
The Quuen is duped by crap “science”
The Queen could move into a bottom floor tenement building and save from heating the castle.
We are sick of you and your Kraut family posing as Brits!
> The Quuen is duped by crap “science” <
I think that’s the bottom line. There is much to admire about Elizabeth (unlike the rest of her family). But when it comes to information, garbage in, garbage out.
Don’t believe anything you read in the left wing media.
ANYTHING !!!
Queenie wants world leaders to do something. But what exactly they should do appears to be of no concern to her.
Even if any in the Royal Family aren’t on board the climate change scam they’ll never speak it.....and that goes for most of the left.
What’s the Queen’s carbon footprint?
We are not amused...
How much energy does it take to heat Buckingham Palace and its 200+ rooms, Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle in Scotland, etc.?
WHEN Harry appeared in Nazi uniform it left the rest of his family suddenly looking naked. In an instant, years of painstaking effort to smooth over the royals' past were stripped away as memories and suspicions of royal links to Hitler's Germany were resurrected.
The house of Windsor springs from the marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert in 1840. He was the son of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in Germany and his name became that used by the British royal family.
A bit of a mouthful, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha turned out not to be Albert's real surname, which was Wettin, the name of another aristocratic German dynasty.
It was only in 1917 that George V, worried by the anti-German feeling caused by the first world war, ordered the royal family to scrap Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Wettin for Windsor.
Matters are still not that simple. The name of the royal house is Windsor, but the surname of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh [Prince Philip] is Mountbatten-Windsor. The duke is also from the house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg and so, arguably, are his heirs.
.However, more embarrassing than names the length of a bus are the family's links to Nazi Germany. The duke is Greek and some of his relatives sympathised with the Nazis; others joined them.
One brother-in-law, Prince Christoph of Hesse, was a member of the SS and flew fighters that attacked allied troops in Italy. In fact, so many of Philip's relatives had Nazi links that when he married Princess Elizabeth he was severely limited on the guests he could invite.

What ‘climate crisis’?
“There’s no point in going to space?”
Prince William is an idiot.
Lady, with your carbon footprint and that of your family, I would keep my mouth shut about leaders not doing enough.
Prince Harry went to a party where the theme was to wear the most offensive costume.
I wonder if Harry won?
