We follow The Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William's involvement and engagements at this years Cop 26 conference in Glasgow.

We delve into what COP 26 is, what the Royals are really doing there and what we can expect from the event. Including: 

Prince William meeting some of the Earth Shot Prize Finalists, BBQ's with the Scouts and shakes hands with Jeff Bezos. 

The Queen is beautiful in green whilst giving a very rare emotive speech to delegates at the COP 26 evening reception. 

Prince Charles LITERALLY falls head over heels for COP 26 as he gives an impassioned speech and steals the show with his Sustainable Markets Initiatives and Terra Carta.

It's a super jam-packed episode this week so grab a cup of tea and a scone and let's get to it...
