This week, Queen Elizabeth wrote a touching letter to the 15th Lambeth Conference to praise them for the outstanding work they have been doing geared towards climate change.
On August 3rd, Anglican bishops from all over the U.K. met at the Lambeth Palace in London to launch the Anglican Communion forest initiative.
Her Majesty, 96, explained that the cause is close to her heart thanks to her late husband, Prince Philip.
She said she is proud to see Prince Charles and Prince William carrying Prince Philip’s legacy.
Her Majesty opted not to mention Prince Harry, who has become a champion of the cause. Many saw the omission as yet another snub towards the renegade royal.
Late last month, Prince Harry, accompanied by his wife, Meghan Markle, traveled to New York, where he delivered a passionate speech at the United Nations.
The Duke of Sussex, who was the keynote speaker at the U.N., said: “Climate change wreaking havoc on our planet, with the most vulnerable suffering most of all.”
Queen Elizabeth said in the deeply personal letter: ” …I know that the Conference is taking place at a time of great need for the love of God – both in word and deed. I am reminded that this gathering was necessarily postponed two years ago, when you had hoped to mark the centenary of the Lambeth Conference that took place in 1920, in the aftermath of the First World War.”
She went on to talk about the activism of the heirs — (Prince Charles and Prince William) — to the throne, seemingly not moved by Prince Harry’s speech.
She stated: “We also live in a time when the effects of climate change are threatening the lives and livelihoods of many people and communities, not least the poorest and those less able to adapt and adjust. I was interested to learn that the focus of your program at Lambeth Palace today is reflection and dialogue on the theme of the environment, a cause close to the heart of my late husband and carried on by The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Cambridge.”
She concluded by talking about how her faith has helped and guided her through the years.
Her Majesty confessed in the emotional message: “Throughout my life, the message and teachings of Christ have been my guide, and in them, I find hope. It is my heartfelt prayer that you will continue to be sustained by your faith in times of trial and encouraged by hope at times of despair.”
There have been several instances in the past years where Queen Elizabeth ignored Prince Harry’s work and praised Prince William and Prince Charles for their efforts toward saving the planet.
During the COP26 summit in Scotland, she said in a video: “It is a source of great pride to me that the leading role my husband played in encouraging people to protect our fragile planet lives on through the work of our eldest son Charles and his eldest son William. I could not be more proud of them.”
During her 2021 Christmas speech, Her Majesty overlooked Prince Harry’s efforts and applauded Prince Charles, Prince William, and their respective wives for their passion for finding solutions for a better and cleaner planet.
Prince Harry has boasted about having a special relationship with his grandmother, which is why her move might be baffling to some.
However, others believe that she no longer mentions Prince Harry because of “Megxit.”
