In a rare public intervention on the climate change crisis, Queen Elizabeth II admits that she’s irritated by people who simply ‘talk but don’t do’.

According to Daily Mail, the Monarch made the remark while attending the opening of the Welsh parliament in Cardiff yesterday.

Queen Elizabeth II, 95, was speaking to the Duchess of Cornwall and Elin Jones, the parliament’s presiding officer when her comments were recorded on the event’s live stream.

The Queen’s remarks are reportedly referring to the upcoming Cop26 climate change conference in Glasgow, which she and other senior royals are expected to attend.

“Extraordinary isn’t it,” the Queen said. “I’ve been hearing all about Cop… still don’t know who is coming… no idea.”

“We only know about people who are not coming,” she added. “It’s really irritating when they talk, but they don’t do.”

To which Elin Jones replied: “Exactly. It’s a time for doing… and watching your grandson [Prince William] on the television this morning saying there’s no point going to space, we need to save the Earth.”

“Yes, I read about it,” the Queen smiled proudly and said.

The Monarch is believed to share concerns on the government in the upcoming climate change conference after Boris Johnson was warned that China’s President Xi Jinping would not be there in person.

The organizers fear that President Xi’s snub could lead to China refusing to set new climate change goals amid the ongoing global energy crisis.

The other world leaders who are still not confirmed to be attending the UN conference are Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Australian prime minister Scott Morrison.

Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro and Indian prime minister Narendra Modi have also not committed their attendance in Glasgow for the event.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden confirmed his attendance yesterday.

According to Philip Reeker, America’s charge d’affaires to the UK said that the summit in Glasgow will be ‘a pivotal moment on the road towards a more secure, prosperous and sustainable future for our planet’.

The conference in Glasgow will begin on October 31.
