It was previously believed the King, who attended the Cop26 summit in Glasgow last year, would also would go to Egypt
Downing Street would not comment on the report which said the King had wanted to deliver a speech to delegates at the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.But a No 10 source claimed it was “ridiculous” to suggest that the Prime Minister “gives orders” to the monarch.
The Sunday Times claimed it is understood that after the King sought advice from the Government, it was agreed this would not be the right occasion for Charles to make his first overseas visit as sovereign. The paper quoted a senior royal source as saying: “It is no mystery that the King was invited to go there. He had to think very carefully about what steps to take for his first overseas tour, and he is not going to be attending Cop.”
The source said the decision was made on the Government’s advice and was “entirely in the spirit of being ever-mindful as King that he acts on Government advice”.
