Monarch Welcomes Changemakers for Water and Climate Reception
King Charles III welcomed global changemakers to Buckingham Palace for a special reception, just after Meghan Markle announced her new podcast.
The 76-year-old monarch appeared in high spirits as he hosted the ‘Water and Climate’ event on Thursday, supporting the international charity WaterAid. The gathering brought together young leaders and decision-makers to discuss strategies for tackling climate challenges and ensuring access to clean water.
On Friday, the royal family’s official Instagram account shared a video from the reception, captioned: “We are deeply honoured that our Patron, His Majesty The King, hosted a Reception at Buckingham Palace last night, bringing together changemakers, young leaders and decision-makers to drive action on water and climate change.”
The statement emphasised the importance of sustainability, adding: “Together, we can support communities to withstand extreme weather, keep clean water flowing, and create a brighter, more resilient future for all. Change starts with water.”
King Charles has been a long-time advocate for environmental causes. He became Patron of WaterAid in 2024 after previously serving as the organisation’s President from 1991 to 2024.
