King Charles will not attend the climate change conference COP27, which is due to be held in Egypt later this year, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
It was responding to a story in The Sunday Times which claimed Prime Minister Liz Truss had "ordered" the King not to attend.
The Palace said advice had been sought by the King and given by Truss.
The Palace stated with mutual friendship and respect there was agreement that the King would not attend.
Before his ascension to the throne last month, the King - then the Prince of Wales - had indicated he would attend the annual conference.
