Prince Charles warns world leaders COP26 is ‘last chance saloon’ to save planet

Prince Charles has warned world leaders that the COP26 climate summit is the "last chance saloon" to save the planet from the effects of climate change.

He dropped in on the G20 leaders meeting in Rome to urge them to turn their "fine words" into "fine actions" when they start their negotiations here tomorrow.

Before he left the Rome summit to head here, Boris Johnson said they had inched forward at the G20 but it was still touch and go whether COP26 would be a success or failure.

Our political editor Gary Gibbon reports from Rome.

Charles runs several houses ( private palaces for his exclusive use), but presumes to lecture us on sustainability. I dread to think what his carbon footprint is, but not everyone gets to honeymoon on a private yacht in the Med, with a Royal Navy frigate escort.

I guarantee old Charlie Boy isn't worrying about were his home heating thermostat is set at this winter!!!

[declanmurphy]

Charlie, does your mother have exemption against Carbon Tax on her properties in Scotland? CopOn26!

Imagine if he had been in a position of unparalleled influence and power for the last 50 years.. oh wait...

[randomrandomperson]

He's got more than enough money to try and help and a private jet. Absolute hypocrite wake up people.

Prince Charles the hypocrite.
Now of course Highgrove House in Tetbury is the residence of The Prince of Wales, HRH Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla. But with 19 rooms and an approximate estimated area of 28, 482 square feet, the annual energy cost on a standard value tariff (SVT) is a staggering £37, 097 per year.

Prince Charlie about as relevant as Jimmy Saville is an authority on childcare.

[haaasful]

How nice he is one of the biggest single individual polluter with his private jet and frequent travels over the past 50 years.

[paulhoskin]

The planet dosnt need to be saved .its existed before us and will be here when we are gone

[skylights]

I am absolutely sure he wishes we would all lower our expectations for his benefit.

Will uncle Andy be making an appearance?

[albertanastasia]

All coming from a man who has someone put the toothpaste on his brush, dresses him, then jumps in a private plane to jet set all over the world....
Man theses ppl are so out of touch😂.

[RayOvacRadio]

People better wake up to what there real plans are!!!

[maggieedwards]

How long before they listen to Prince Charles ? how many years has he been showing concern about the climate, not to mention all the many other to show that the changes we are seeing, are the serious wear and tear of the planet, caused by man, still not listening ok 👍🏽🙏🏽❤️

How is living in the Dragon Castle in Transylvania Prince Charles? That’s kind of a weird place to call home…

[jennifertam]

Hope that Prince Charles does not become the King of England!!! He is no leader but a coward and unfaithful husband making Princess Diana's life miserable before her death.

[jeffwaddell]

Add up the private jets/motorcades to get to this yearly Charade folks... Huge Carbon Footprint I'd say...but who am l right

[maccabackpacker]

It's all about the great reset 2030.

I wonder if Prince Charles has any investments? 🤔 If so, I'm sure they are all very climate friendly😅
