Queen Elizabeth, Prince William and Prince Charles host business leaders, presidential emissaries and tech entrepreneurs including Bill Gates and John Kerry at Windsor Castle for a very lavish reception
Among the guests invited to the queen's Berkshire home after the daylong conference in London was Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who was seen leaning forward to shake the monarch's hand.
U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, Poppy Gustafsson, chief executive of cybersecurity firm Darktrace, and Hamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, executive director of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, were among those who met with the high-profile royals.
The Queen, Charles and Prince William extended a warm welcome to the business leaders and members of the government, including Foreign Minister Liz Truss, and International Trade Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan.
In a foreword for the official Global Investment Summit brochure, the Queen said she was "proud" of how the United Kingdom is moving toward a sustainable future, but "there is much more to do."
The head of state also urged nations to rise to the challenge and avert the problems associated with climate change.
Her Majesty described how fighting the pandemic has led to scientific breakthroughs and how innovation in the United Kingdom often comes from "teamwork against all odds," like the efforts of Alan Turing and his colleagues during World War II to crack the Nazi regime's Enigma code.
She added, "Today's challenge, however, is not to crack a code. It is to work together globally to avert the challenges of climate change. It is our collective responsibility, the responsibility of governments, business and civil society to rise to this challenge.
This summit is not just a showcase, but an opportunity to come together and forge new partnerships in a generous spirit of cooperation."
