King Charles will not attend the climate change conference COP27, which is due to be held in Egypt later this year, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
It was responding to a story in The Sunday Times which claimed Prime Minister Liz Truss had “ordered” the King not to attend.
The Palace said advice had been sought by the King and given by Ms Truss.
“With mutual friendship and respect there was agreement that the King would not attend,” the Palace stated.
Before his ascension to the throne last month, the King – then the Prince of Wales – had indicated he would attend the annual conference.
Royal correspondent Jonny Dymond said the BBC had put it to the Palace that the King must be personally disappointed given his long decades of passionate environmental campaigning.
But the Palace responded that the idea that the King was uncomfortable was not the case, and that he was ever mindful of the sovereign’s role to act on the advice of the government.
