How the Queen went green: UK royal family’s eco-projects in spotlight ahead of Cop26 – The National

When Queen Elizabeth II welcomed billionaire business leaders, presidential envoys and tech entrepreneurs to Windsor Castle this month, she took the opportunity to hammer home a message close to her heart: climate change must be combated.

She told the titans of industry gathered for a reception following a government investment summit that she was “proud” of how the UK is moving towards a sustainable future, but “there is still much more to do”.

The head of state, who has been resting after a short hospital stay following the event, also urged nations to “rise to the challenge” and avert the problems associated with climate change.
