King Charles will deliver address at opening ceremony of Cop28 in Dubai and meet President of UAE, Palace announces amid Omid Scobie book controversy with second member of royal family ‘named as racist’ in Dutch translation<\/h1>\n

King Charles will deliver the opening address at the opening ceremony of COP28 in Dubai and meet the\u00a0president of the United Arab Emirates, Buckingham Palace announced today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles will join Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan tomorrow before delivering the opening address at the\u00a0World Climate Action Summit on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The monarch, 75, will also sit down with regional leaders to ‘support the UK’s efforts\u00a0to promote peace’ in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles missed Cop27 in Egypt last year following advice from the Government while Liz Truss\u00a0was prime minister, despite it being widely reported that he had hoped to attend in person.<\/p>\n

It comes at a sensitive time for the Royal Family, with two of its members apparently named as the ‘royal racists’ in the Dutch translation of Omid Scobie’s new book Endgame, according to reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

King Charles\u00a0followed by Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrives to host a reception to mark the conclusion of the Global Investment Summit at Buckingham Palace on Monday<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The King will meet\u00a0Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan tomorrow. They are seen together in London in 2020\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dutch royal journalist Rick Evers revealed on ITV’s Good Morning Britain that the first name was ‘very specific’, while the second one was ‘a little bit vague’.<\/p>\n

Mr Scobie’s book was pulled from sale in the Netherlands yesterday after it apparently named one of the ‘royal racists’. The author’s Dutch publishers said they had been ordered by US bosses to put sales ‘on hold’ at the eleventh hour.<\/p>\n

Thousands of copies of Endgame, which was published globally yesterday to withering reviews for its vindictiveness toward the Royal Family, face being pulped.<\/p>\n

In the English-language edition Mr Scobie does not name the royal accused by Meghan of expressing ‘concern’ about the skin colour of her future son Archie.<\/p>\n

SARAH VINE: Where DO Harry and Meghan stand in relation to this puppet of theirs? If the Duke and Duchess of Sussex don’t denounce the poison in Omid Scobie’s new book, we can only assume they endorse it<\/h3>\n

But the book alleges that in her letters to discuss the situation the duchess claims similar remarks were made by a second person in the Royal Household.<\/p>\n

In the English version, Mr Scobie says he knows the names of both individuals but ‘laws in the United Kingdom prevent me from reporting who they were’. The same sentence is in the Italian edition.<\/p>\n

However a page taken from a review copy of the book sent to Dutch journalists this week clearly points the finger at a senior royal.<\/p>\n

Referring to the letters discussing the issue, it reads dramatically: ‘But in those private letters an identity was revealed and confirmed: [The Mail has redacted the name concerned and will not be repeating it].’<\/p>\n

It is unclear why one foreign language version of the book would name a specific individual when no other editions appear to do so. And it should be stressed that there is no evidence the claim itself is even true.<\/p>\n

Mr Evers, who first revealed yesterday that the book had identified one of the ‘royal racists’, told Good Morning Britain today: ‘Names of two senior royals are mentioned during the book.’<\/p>\n

Host Richard Madeley then asked: ‘Can I be clear about this, there are two names in the book?’<\/p>\n

And Mr Evers replied: ‘Yes, the first one is very specific. The second one is a little bit vague, if this person is really involved in the story. But the first one is very clear and the official way was that it was a translation issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘There are some debates about how these passages were stated in the book. I would say how could you translate a name wrong?’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Omid Scobie appears on ABC programme Nightline which aired early this morning in the US<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace revealed more details of Charles’ trip to Dubai in a briefing note released this morning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, he will meet students from across the Commonwealth to\u00a0<\/span>hear about green tech and sustainable innovations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His Majesty will meet global and Commonwealth indigenous leaders to talk about the role of using traditional knowledge alongside scientific knowledge to address the climate and nature crises.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, Charles will meet female climate leaders working to address climate change and representatives from small island states that are threatened by sea level rises.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomorrow evening, the King\u00a0\u00a0will join His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at a reception to launch COP28.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Prince of Wales, Charles spent decades passionately campaigning on green and environmental issues.<\/p>\n

The King was invited to COP28 by Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and will attend at the request of the UK Government, the Palace said.<\/p>\n

COP28 has already been overshadowed by leaks suggesting UAE officials used the UN climate change talks to push for lucrative new oil and gas deals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Controversial: Sultan Al Jaber, the Emirati president of\u00a0 COP28, is the head of a massive oil firm\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sultan Al Jaber, the Emirati president of the UN’s COP28 meeting, planned to raise commercial oil and gas interests with foreign officials ahead of talks in the UAE’s business hub, leaked internal reports show.<\/p>\n

They are the latest claims to cast doubt on whether the talks will boost efforts to cut emissions of planet-heating gases \u2014 or are more akin to a public relations exercise for the Gulf petro-monarchy.<\/p>\n

Critics have long complained about Al Jaber leading the summit because of a conflict of interest with his other job \u2014 chief executive of the UAE’s national oil company, Adnoc.<\/p>\n

Adnoc reportedly has aggressive expansion plans that will raise carbon emissions, while state-run UAE oil and gas fields flare gas almost daily despite decades-old agreements, it is claimed.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Carter, head of the Centre for Climate Reporting, which led the new probe, said Al Jaber has ‘sought to lobby on fossil fuel deals during meetings with foreign governments about the UN climate summit.’<\/p>\n

The leaked documents include more 150 pages of preparatory briefing notes for meetings held by Al Jaber between July and October.<\/p>\n

Oil and gas commercial interests appear as talking points in these files, with the reporting showing on at least one occasion a country followed up on discussions brought up during a meeting with Al Jaber.<\/p>\n

The report, produced with the BBC, describes Al Jaber planning to lobby Brazil’s Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Marina Silva to help push through Adnoc’s bid for Brazilian petrochemical firm Braskem.<\/p>\n

Prof Michael Jacobs, a climate expert at Sheffield University, said these actions were ‘breathtakingly hypocritical.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More than 70,000 officials, campaigners, and experts are expected to attend COP28 in Dubai<\/p>\n
