Queen Elizabeth II joined the UN climate conference, COP26 on Monday. The 95-year-old monarch addressed the issue to the world leaders via a virtual call.

While addressing her message, the British monarch paid an ode to her late husband Prince Philip with a special accessory.

In her speech, the Queen was spotted wearing a bright green dress paired with the heirloom gifted to her by the Dowager Countess of Onslow at her wedding to the late Prince Philip, in 1947.

The royal's brooch consisted of diamond and ruby stones, attracted the attention her audiences. In her pre-recorded message for the conference, Her Majesty was seated at one of her desks at Windsor Castle, and next to her was a framed photo of the late Duke of Edinburgh.

She also recalled Prince Philip’s passion for the environment and continued, “It is a source of great pride to me that the leading role my husband played in encouraging people to protect our fragile planet, lives on through the work of our eldest son Charles and his eldest son William. I could not be more proud of them.”
