The King, who’s known for his embrace of the ‘climate emergency’ agenda, has sensibly abandoned plans to attend next month’s Cop27 climate change summit after Liz Truss told him to stay away. Apparently, he had intended to deliver an impassioned speech. The Times has more.
Truss, who is also unlikely to attend the Sharm el-Sheikh gathering, objected to the King’s plans during a personal audience at Buckingham Palace last month.
The decision is likely to fuel tensions between the new Prime Minister and the new monarch, although a Downing Street source claimed the audience had been cordial and there had “not been a row”.
The news comes amid suspicion that the Government may water down, or abandon, its environmental target to achieve ‘Net Zero’ by 2050.
A senior royal source said: “It is no mystery that the King was invited to go there. He had to think very carefully about what steps to take for his first overseas tour, and he is not going to be attending Cop.”
They said the decision was made on the Government’s advice and was “entirely in the spirit of being ever-mindful as King that he acts on Government advice”.
The 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as Cop27, will run from November 6th to 18th.
Charles is still determined to make his presence felt there, and how he will do that is “under active discussion”. A senior royal source said: “Just because he is not in physical attendance, that doesn’t mean His Majesty won’t find other ways to support it.”
A source who knows Charles said he would be “personally disappointed” to miss it and was “all lined up to go”, with several engagements planned around his Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) which aims to persuade businesses to invest in environmentally friendly initiatives.
Sounds like the Prime Minister has done the King a massive favour – although he may not look at it that way.

A step in the right direction, if true
Given that Charles is fully on board with the WEF. I wonder how he thinks his loyal subjects should be genetically augmented?
Early sudden and/or unexpected death Augmentation
Then Dependance on the State Augmentation

Watch Yuval Noah Harari’s WEF speeches. He says that, now the human genome has been cracked, humans can be ‘hacked’ and free will abolished.
Harari is a certifiable Next Tuesday Warrior and should be treated as such.
Was looking for a particular book on the shelf at home and was appalled to find this monster’s tome ‘Sapiens’ sitting there.
Needless to say it got hoiked out and issued an urgent plea to the purchaser to burn it.
Devastated to think we part funded this creature – damn!
If I felt I could depend on the new King to speak sense, I would encourage him to speak his mind, being “above government” as he should be. That is, after all, his role.
As things stand, well… it’s probably best he follows the “advice” of the new Liz in his life.
However, I am still concerned that he’s too stupid to shut up.
Oh he’ll do his duty alright. That’s partly why he married princess Diana, I understand.
… then cheat?
If indeed he did marry at least as much from duty as from love, cheating was perhaps always on the cards.
Charles is an idiot and will find it impossible not to act like an idiot as king.
No wonder his.mother clung on to the very end.
King James i (VI of Scotland) thought he was an intellectual. He was branded “the wisest fool in Christendom” by people who didn’t concur with his own estimation of his intelligence.
King Charles III appears to be a chip off the Stuart block.
“Watered down”..? I bloody well hope so. Even the IPCC documents don’t use 2050 but 2100 as the target date, and they’re full of that stuff horses leave behind them. How many more times do we have to have billionaires flying in on private jets to tell us we just have to accept living in a romanticised version of 12th century feudalism so they can ‘save the planet’.
Although I would like to see the binning of the Windsors I have a modicum of optimism where Charlie is concerned. He is so utterly thick and full of himself that he is a certainty to put his foot in it time and again.
Lizzy didn’t just have a word pleading for him not to go to COP, she clearly told him to stay away and button it. Fortunately for us that is beyond him. He may yet prove to be a great asset.
Charlie is so immersed in centuries past and their imminent return that he’s wetting himself.
Fingers crossed.
Well he’s not thick in the sense of stupid. He was quite good at most things.
What precisely?
Things he participated in at school. I have a source for this, almost certainly better than anyone else on here. Believe or not as you please, it makes no odds to me.
He may have gone down some wrong roads but he’s not stupid. (And by the way, I understand he had a point about giving plants some love. Philip
Day covers the subject. Interesting stuff).
I doubt Truss is telling him anything, she’s only marginally more able than Biden. Truss is not our friend, she’s just another pawn in the game; they are just deploying different tactics to win your loyalty. It’s the same end game – control.
Fair point. I suppose it is a generous statement to suggest Truss is acting of her own accord.
A choice between our monarchy and someone like Tony Bliar as President, I’d choose monarchy every time.
Speaking as a monarchist, if Charles III, as King, continues to involve himself directly in the climate movement, I will no longer recognise him as our king and will support either his forced abdication or the establishment of a republic.
I won’t tolerate a King (or Queen) of England who openly involves himself in a political movement and fails to be neutral. I’d sooner lose the Monarchy or replace the Windsors with another royal line.
Liz Truss is absolutely right: Charles needs to keep his mouth shut and act has his mother did. Truss also needs to be at the forefront of abandoning all Net Zero targets and get on with keeping the people of the country supplied with energy at an affordable price.
If he now identifies with the climate scare, he will not be politically neutral. No sign yet though that the Royal Stuart Society will have to try and persuade the true heir to make a claim to the throne though.
I feel really sorry for people that still think this isn’t theatre.
Yes. Charles was quite keen on theatre. In fact, one is convinced that his son’s name Harry derives from Shakespeare.
Frankly I don’t care what it is, so long as we get a genuine democracy and one person one vote. Oh, and free and informed consent on medical issues.
Good. The man’s a fool.
I’m even more pleased if Liz Truss isn’t going.
I’m afraid he will probably do a zoom thing though.
Charles, who has been waiting years for his time to come, has an opportunity to use his new role on his favourite subject and gets put in his place by the person who will probably become the worst prime minister the U.K. has ever had. Karma.
She’s got serious competition for that title. Really serious.
Good. But he should also be prevented from finding other ways to support it as well.
If he wants to campaign on political issues, he should be invited to abdicate.
Make him an invitation he can’t refuse?
They are all WEF’ers
Like any other State employee, Mr Windsor needs to abide by the rules of his employment contract or suffer the consequences. It’s a while since the Civil Service was a ‘job for life’.
I presume she made a promise to the Queen.
I’m glad to hear he has reconsidered his position. Whilst he is of course entitled to his own opinion it is not one we all share.
Entitled to his own opinion but not his own facts. There is no trend towards catastrophic climate change, whether Mankind induced or not.
‘Charles is still determined to make his presence felt there, and how he will do that is “under active discussion”.’
Didn’t he say in his first address to the Nation promise that he wasn’t going to be a campaigning king? Doesn’t look like it. He’s lost no time in going back on his word.
Mater is a tough act to follow. Charlie’s honeymoon period with the British people could soon come to an abrupt end ‘senior total sources’ need to consider.
Maybe his promotion will save his reputation to some extent. The continuation of the monarchy being ( more or less) apolitical is part of the deal for them to continue as normal, otherwise there could be a movement towards republicanism. So it’s likely that he has been advised by Liz and others.
Must we imagine that Liz’ advice was of her own making, or is it rather some council or intelligence which has prompted her ??
