The Queen has appeared to show her irritation over the lack of action on climate change during her Welsh Senedd trip on Thursday.
Two video clips emerged of her chatting to the Duchess of Cornwall and Elin Jones, the parliament's presiding officer.
The videos, filmed on a phone camera, appear to show the Queen talking about the Cop26 climate conference that will be held in Glasgow at the end of the month.
In the clip, she said: "I've been hearing all about Cop... I still don't know who's coming."
In another video clip, the Queen appeared to be critical over the lack of action from political leaders over the climate crisis, saying she found it "irritating" when "they talk, but they don't do."
The Queen will be present at the Cop26 summit to carry out engagements alongside senior royal family members.
The summit will be attended by Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison, after he was initially undecided on going.
However, China's President Xi Jinping will not be in attendance, according to The Times newspaper, which will have an impact on what can be achieved.
