On the advice of the Prime Minister, King Charles will not attend the climate summit in Egypt

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III will not attend the COP27 climate change conference, scheduled to take place in Egypt later this year.

This came in response to an article published by the "Sunday Times", which claimed that Prime Minister Liz Terrace "ordered" the king not to attend.

The palace said that Teras advised the king, after he asked for advice.

The palace stated that "it was agreed that the king would not attend with mutual friendship and respect."

It is reported that King Charles III, who was Prince of Wales, indicated, before taking the throne last month, that he would attend the annual conference.
