Queen Elizabeth - COP 26 Climate Summit

So isn't it lucky that someone was able to "accidentally overhear" her commenting on climate change initiatives just at the time when COP26 is on the horizon,

Yes I thought that too Alegrias

I suppose the Queen expressing an opinion is newsworthy after all these years of dignified silence.

Call me suspicious, but....

The Queen never comments on anything, she's renowned for it.

I know that Chris Packham has recently pointed out that the Queen's estates aren't doing well enough for the environment in his opinion, but wasn't Prince Philip one of the founders of the World Wildlife Trust and Charles has always been quite hot on environmental issues? I'm sure the Queen must be well aware of what is at stake. Though I could see her being accused of hypocrisy...
