Tuesday, 26 October 2021 (YJC)_ The UK's Queen Elizabeth II will not attend the evening reception ceremony for COP26 in Glasgow following advice to rest.
COP26, or the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, is set to take place in Glasgow from 31 October to 12 November, and will be co-chaired by the United Kingdom and Italy.
The UK's Queen Elizabeth II will not attend the evening reception ceremony for COP26 in Glasgow on 1 November "following advice to rest", according to a statement by Buckingham Palace.
"Her Majesty is disappointed not to attend the Reception but will deliver an address to the assembled delegates via a recorded video message", the statement noted.
A Palace source told Reuters that the Queen's decision not to attend the ceremony was a "sensible precaution", which she hopes will not be used by others as a reason to miss the event.
