Queen Elizabeth knows that she will one day leave the monarchy in good hands. Her Majesty said that she couldn’t be any prouder of the work that both Prince Charles and Prince William have been doing towards both environmental and climate change awareness.
She sent a video message that was played at the COP26 climate conference, in which she said that she was “especially happy” of the work that William and Charles have taken on, seeing how the environment was a “subject close to the heart” of her late husband, Prince Philip. Here’s what you need to know.
Queen Elizabeth Is ‘Proud’ Of Prince Charles And Prince William’s Environmental Work
Queen Elizabeth shared her video message with world leaders as she was unable to attend the conference herself after her doctors advised her to stay home for two weeks.
So instead, the Queen told the evening reception in a pre-recorded message that nations must work hard to limit global warming “not for ourselves but for our children and our children’s children, and those who will follow in their footsteps.”
She told the summit: “I remember well that in 1969, he [Philip] told an academic gathering: ‘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… If we fail to cope with this challenge, all the other problems will pale into insignificance.’
“It is a source of great pride to me that the leading role my husband played in encouraging people to protect our fragile planet, lives on through the work of our eldest son Charles and his eldest son William. I could not be more proud of them.”
With that said, Buckingham Palace officials still insist that Queen Elizabeth is in “good form” and that there’s no need to be alarmed about her health.
In a statement on Friday, Buckingham Palace said: “Following on from their recent advice that the Queen should rest for a few days, Her Majesty’s doctors have advised that she should continue to rest for at least the next two weeks. The doctors have advised that Her Majesty can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time, including some virtual audiences, but not to undertake any official visits.”
“Her Majesty regrets that this means she will be unable to attend the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday, November 13. However, it remains The Queen’s firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on November 14.”
