King Charles Addresses Global Climate Crisis Amidst Controversy

King Charles III has delivered a significant statement during the opening ceremony of the World Climate Action Summit at COP28 in Dubai, sharing a historic speech that resonates amidst the ongoing race row sparked by Omid Scobie's claims in his new book, "Endgame."

The 75-year-old monarch, who found himself embroiled in controversy due to Scobie's book, emphasized, 'The Earth does not belong to us.' Addressing world leaders at COP28, King Charles III expressed concern about the 'vast, frightening experiment' humanity is conducting on the planet, pushing the natural world 'outside balanced norms and limits.'

During his speech, the King stressed that restoring the balance is crucial, stating, 'Unless we restore this equilibrium, our survivability will be imperiled.'

The Royal Family's social media accounts have shared the video of this historic address, underlining the importance of collaborative efforts to bring about change. The caption reads, 'Change will come by working together and making it easier to embrace decisions that will sustain our world, rather than carrying on as though there are no limits – or as though our actions have no consequences.'

This video release follows the controversy surrounding King Charles and Kate Middleton's names dragged into the race row initiated by Harry and Meghan's author Omid Scobie's book.

Scobie's claims stem from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's 2021 tell-all interview with US TV icon Oprah Winfrey, where the couple alleged that a senior royal had speculated about their son Archie's skin color during Meghan's pregnancy.

Highlighting the monarch's longstanding commitment to environmental causes, the narrative acknowledges that both Prince William and King Charles have been advocating for environmental protection for decades, well before it gained widespread attention. Their personal passion for this cause has endured throughout the years.
