King Charles the Third has reportedly called off his speech at an upcoming climate change summit

The newly-minted King won’t be attending the COP-27 climate conference reportedly on the advice of UK Prime Minister Liz Truss.

The monarch is a well-known climate campaigner who had been invited at the 27th UN climate conference.

The Palace has already confirmed King Charles won’t be at the summit but hasn’t given a reason why.

The conference will take place in Egypt in November.
