Prime Minister Liz Truss reportedly blocked King Charles from appearing at the upcoming COP27 climate talks.

The annual gathering of nations to discuss the global environment is due to take place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in November.

During his time as Prince of Wales, Charles spoke often on the issue of climate change and his desire to create a sustainable world.

In September 2021, he wrote exclusively for the Daily Mirror about his personal quest to help future generations and said: "I have spent around 40 years of my life trying to indicate what must be done to ensure that we do not bequeath a destroyed world to our children and grandchildren.”

He went on to warn that the world was "on the brink".

It was thought the King would deliver a speech at this year's conference, but the Prime Minister reportedly rejected the idea - Ms Truss herself is unlikely to attend.

A senior royal insider said, "It's no mystery that the king was invited to go there. He had to think very carefully about the steps for his first overseas tour, and he won't attend Cop."
