King Charles Hosts COP27 Reception but Keeps His Mouth Shut

King Charles III held a reception at Buckingham Palace for 200 VIPs who are attending the COP27 summit in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. While Charles did not give a presentation, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke. (There was also a video of an awkward greeting between Charles and fashion designer, climate change activist and “Beatle Baby” Stella McCartney.) According to the BBC, about 200 politicians and campaigners met at Buckingham Palace, including U.S. climate envoy John Kerry and COP president Alok Sharma. Sunak assured everyone that Britain’s’s global leadership on climate change will continue after its COP26 presidency ends. Following fierce criticism, Sunak, who had not intended to go attend COP27, reversed his position, and will attend the opening days.
