King Charles III will skip the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference — also known as COP27 — in Egypt next month.
The king — widely known for his decades of environmental activism as prince — was advised by new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, against making the journey.
“It is no mystery that the King was invited to go there,” a royal source told the Times of London. “He had to think very carefully about what steps to take for his first overseas tour, and he is not going to be attending COP.”
The 27th annual conference would have been Charles’ first overseas trip as Britain’s sovereign, according to the paper.
