In a most unfortunate series of events, Queen Elizabeth II has waded into politics on the global warming matter, quite contrary to her lifelong position of being above politics.
Her call to action at the United Nations' COP26 global warming summit in Scotland indicates a bad shift.
According an editorial, likely written by Seth Lipsky, that appeared in the New York Sun:
Queen Elizabeth II made a mistake, by our lights, in abandoning her royal impartiality and plunging into the political fray at the Glasgow summit on climate change. She’s effectively thrown herself — and her crown — in on the side of the Green New Deal. And of all those who will be addressing changes in the weather by tapping taxpayers at home and abroad, a money grab that will eventually boomerang on the politicians.
We wouldn’t suggest that the Right Honorable Mrs. Windsor, as Her Majesty might come to be called if she keeps diving into politics, should have ignored the climate conference. Nor discount entirely that she was weakened by the ailment that caused royal doctors to insist that she get some rest. Nor that she might just be lonely following the death of Prince Philip, who, she insisted, started warning about the environment in 1969.
We would suggest that Her Majesty got way beyond her royal role when she declared that “the time for words has now moved to the time for action.” And when she endorsed the environmental politics of her late husband, Prince Phillip, whose long ago warning she quoted as: “If the world pollution situation is not critical at the moment, it is as certain as anything can be, that the situation will become increasingly intolerable within a very short time . . .”
It's a heck of a shame to see this happen.

The queen listens to her son. Meghan has nothing to do with it.
If people are dumb enough to be influenced by the prattling of actors, singers, members of royalty and other useless vermin - well, that’s their right.
My suspicion is that this point of view is no longer politically controversial in the U.K. The whole population has bought into it. It would be as if she said that the time to act against young people smoking cigarettes is now. Or, abandoned land mines that blow up children are bad.

So they are going away, even with their 3rd world imports and baby making.
What does it matter when London will be gone over the next 50 years
A dying monarchy, a dying country, a dying idea.
She’s an old lady, not my queen, not beholding to her BS.
Monarchy is a stupid museum piece tradition.
These are not the Queen’s private opinions. Her speeches at public events of this kind are written for her by the government. And climate change,as distinct from methods, if any, of responding to it, is not generally seen as a divisive political issue in the UK.
Check out the pols she called...
Still wondering if Harry is here on a visa that allows the Harkles to avoid paying US income taxes...
