Royal comment

-

The Queen’s suggestion that she is irritated by a lack of action in tackling climate change is a “common sense” response reflecting the views of many, royal commentato­rs have said.

Rewilding the sprawling grouse shooting moors on her large Balmoral estate soon then, eh? Nope. Thought not. Pity. Would have been a magnificen­t example to set. Actions speak louder than 'alleged' overheard words.

Jimi Mcrae She campaigned to be exempt from climate laws. Abolish the monarchy!

Liz Rae

She has no business criticisin­g anyone over energy use and climate change while she heats her vast castles and palaces that could house many families and people who are living on the street - "do as I say, not as I do" springs to mind.

Magmitch Mitchell

Good for her and all land owners who don't want those horrible looking wind farms that don't create enough energ. Iff they did, where is the saving? We're all going to pay even more or possibly have no electricit­y.

Elizabeth O Neill

An interventi­on nonetheles­s. The exact opposite of what she is supposed to do as monarch. It comes as no surprise First Minister Sturgeon was recently rated higher.

Dylan Reid How about she publicly states the the building of a fossil fuel guzzling yacht is something that shouldn’t happen?

David Howie

She happens to be spot on!

Carrie Eddy

Her Majesty is an amazing woman and whether the United Kingdom stays together or whether Scotland becomes independen­t and retains our Head of State as the Queen like Canada; long may she reign!

Johnny Mac

Meanwhile, the msm carries a story that the Royal family is actively lobbying both parliament­s for an amendment so no wind generators are built on "their estate" at Balmoral.

Brian Johnson

Well she has a swathe of our wealth where she could invest in environmen­tal solutions and downsize her standard of living.

Buchanan George

And I'm irritated in the lack of action regarding Prince Andrew

Bea Te

Put her in a council maisonette, re-wild the land on all her properties, cancel the civil list - sorted!

Stephen Johnson We already have the solution to anthropoge­nic global warming and concomitan­t climate change. Convert all coal and gas power plants to nuclear power generation. This can be done in a decade.
