Britain’s 95-year-old Queen Elizabeth II will not attend the COP26 UN climate conference in Glasgow, after “advice to rest” from doctors following an overnight hospital stay, her Buckingham Palace office said Tuesday.
LONDON, United Kingdom —
The queen worked a busy schedule in early October but cancelled a visit to Northern Ireland last week on medical advice. The Queen’s trip to the UN climate conference had been eagerly awaited, as the royal family has become very engaged in environmental issues in recent weeks. Elizabeth II herself shed her usual reserve in mid-October by expressing her irritation with world leaders who “talk” but “don’t do” enough about climate change, in an apparent jibe at those not even attending the upcoming COP26 summit.
