    In a momentous occasion, British King Charles III is set to grace Dubai with his first official visit as reigning monarch, adding regal significance to the 28th annual Conference of the Parties (COP28).
    The royal visit, at the invitation of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is slated to kick off on December 1, where King Charles will deliver a welcome address to global leaders assembled for COP28’s opening ceremony.
    The prestigious event, hosted at Expo City Dubai from November 30 to December 12, is a vital platform where heads of state unite to collaboratively address the world’s most critical climate change challenges. This year, the British monarch’s participation takes on special significance, given his longstanding commitment to environmental causes.

    King Charles III, known for his passionate advocacy for climate action, will extend his influence beyond the opening ceremony. A Buckingham Palace statement conveyed that he will also partake in a reception launching the COP28 Business and Philanthropy Climate Forum, an integral component running parallel to the main summit.
    This underscores his dedication to engaging with global leaders and influencers in the fight against climate change.
    As part of his diplomatic itinerary, King Charles III will seize the opportunity to engage in discussions with regional leaders, emphasizing the importance of collective action ahead of COP28.
    The COP28 summit marks a crucial juncture in the global pursuit of sustainable solutions. With King Charles III’s royal presence and impassioned commitment to climate causes, the event is poised to not only address immediate challenges but also foster a renewed spirit of international cooperation.
    As world leaders convene in Dubai, the monarch’s words are anticipated to resonate far beyond the regal corridors, inspiring meaningful climate action on a global scale.

      Yesterday, the world bid its final farewell to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-ever reigning monarch of the United Kingdom.
      A few hours after the ceremony took place, the Royal Family shared an unseen image in loving memory of Her Majesty The Queen, who lived from 1926 to 2022.
      Taken at Balmoral Castle in 1971, deemed to be one of her favourite places in the UK, the Queen is seen amidst plush fauna surrounding on the Scottish estate with an elegant scarf wrapped around her head.  The photo was a poignant one, given the Queen passed away at Balmoral.
      The image was shared with the one of Shakespeare’s most popular quotes from Hamlet: “May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.”

      ‘May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.’
      In loving memory of Her Majesty The Queen.

      These were some of the precious words which King Charles III used in his first televised speech as monarch, paying tribute to his late mother.
      This previously unpublished photo pays a tribute to the Queen and her years of dedication to the country. She made a lifelong commitment to serving the country on her 21st birthday and effortlessly carried out her duties as British monarch.
      Laid to rest on September 19, 2022, a total of 2,000 guests, including 500 dignitaries, foreign royals and leaders and members of the Royal Family were in attendance at the state funeral service at Westminster Abbey.
      The Queen has been buried at Windsor Castle alongside her late husband Prince Philip, after an intimate ceremony with the Royal Family members.
