The Queen will not participate (on doctors’ orders) in Glasgow CoP26

The ninety-five year old Queen Elizabeth a few days ago he refused the Elder of the Year Award (“You are old when you feel old») But the ailments of age, unfortunately, do not spare her either. His Majesty, already forced to participate in an official engagement with the stick, then to bow to a very rare hospitalization to be subjected to unspecified “preliminary” diagnostic tests, will be forced to give up, on mandatory “recommendation of doctors», at CoP26 in Glasgow, a crucial international conference on climate that has been on the agenda for some time alongside the eldest child Carlo and nephew Wiliam.

The announcement of the cancellation of the sovereign’s trip to Scotland (which follows the cancellation of that to Northern Ireland) was given by Buckingham Palace with an official statement: “Her Majesty has decided with regret to renounce the trip to Glasgow” for “The evening reception on Monday, November 1st”. The sovereign he will address «a speech to the delegates gathered in the assembly through a video message registered “but”she regrets not being able to be presentAt the conference. That Elizabeth is “sorry” is certain. Just in recent days, in a private interview stolen from the cameras, he denounced the behavior of those leaders who “speak but do not do” enough to counteract the climate changes and the looming threat to the future of the planet.

The renunciation of CoP26 therefore strengthens the elements ofconcern over the queen’s health. Especially since a source close to the Royal House has just revealed a The Telegraph than His Majesty in her future public engagements she will never be alone: ​​”With her there will always be a member of the royal family”. Probably the eldest son Carlo with Camilla, his daughter Anna, or William and Kate Middleton. Her Majesty after being hospitalized has already completed some royal duties alone, but they were virtual appointments: for example a videoconference, from Windsor, with the South Korean ambassador.

Buckingham Palace makes it known that His Majesty “He’s in a great mood”, but a source close to the queen revealed a The Times that in reality “She is exhausted”. On the other hand Queen Elizabeth comes from a difficult year, in which she lost her husband, Prince Philip, and had to cope with the constant attacks of Harry and Meghan Markle. But her proverbial temperament pushes her to never back down. Even if the doctors forced her to rest more, to slow down her commitments and to give up her usual evening martini, the sovereign looks to the future. And in particular al Platinum Jubilee with which in May 2022 he will celebrate his 70th anniversary.
