Queen Elizabeth pulls out of the opening address on doctors' advice, but will instead deliver a recorded message.
British heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles will speak at the opening ceremony of the COP26 United Nations climate summit on Monday, November 1, to welcome world leaders, his office said, a day after Queen Elizabeth pulled out on doctors' advice.
Charles, 72, who will be with his wife Camilla, is to deliver opening remarks as he did at COP21 in Paris in 2015. He will also be joined at COP26 by his eldest son Prince William and his wife Kate, who have followed in the family footsteps by speaking out about green issues.
