Karren Brady blasts Rishi Sunak's 'ridiculous' decision to block King Charles from Cop27
The TV star added: “Our monarch understands the problem, cares about it passionately, and will have more impact on creating action from governments around the world than any member of parliament will.”King Charles is currently set to follow Rishi’s advice that he should skip the event, although the Environment Secretary, Thérèse Coffey, suggested on Thursday that it was up to the monarch if he attended the conference.Former Prime Minister Liz Truss had originally advised His Majesty to stay away from the conference because she wanted to use his first foreign trip for diplomatic leverage with nations such as Canada. A Downing Street spokeswoman confirmed on Thursday that the government had advised the monarch to stay away from the summit.She said: “As is standard practice, government advice was sought and provided under a previous PM, and it was unanimously agreed it would not be the right occasion for the King to visit.”Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called on Rishi to “show leadership” by attending the event to promote unity among world leaders.He said: "Many people would be expecting a prime minister of the UK not just to attend but to use it as an opportunity to pull world leaders together to deal with climate.”Rishi said last week that he believed it was “right” to instead focus on the UK economy before Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s autumn Budget on November 17.On a visit to Croydon University Hospital, in south London, he said: “The leadership that we have shown on the climate is unmatched almost along the world.“It’s important to me that we leave behind an environment that is better for our children and grandchildren.”The PM continued: “I’m personally committed to it.“I just think, at the moment, it’s right that I’m

Karren Brady gushes over Kate Middleton and Prince William’s ‘healthy’ relationship
 Royal Family – had a blast at an outdoor market in Belfast during their surprise visit to Northern Ireland this week."William and Kate, both 40, laughed as they raced each other to mix up a particular drink, before the prince was declared the winner."I’ve often noticed that these two seem like they have got a healthy – and funny – level of competition in their relationship."The Apprentice star concluded in her column for The Sun: "I wonder if that is perhaps one of their secrets to happiness."Elsewhere, a body language expert has heaped praise on Kate over her "elegant traits", which she combines with "relatability".Judi James explained exclusively to Express.co.uk why she believed the Princess of Wales will be ready for her role as Queen when the time comes.She said: "It would be hard to imagine someone with body language that is more suited to the role of Queen than Kate."She brings many of the more traditional, formal and elegant traits that the Queen was known for, but blends them with some touches of her own that update her image to suit this age of relatability, accessibility and video communications."Judi went on to reflect on how Kate isn't afraid to have fun or get her hands dirty during her royal engagements.She questioned whether this could potentially change as she moves from Duchess to Princess and Princess to Queen Consort.She posed the question: "Kate does A-list glamour and elegance perfectly, but will she need to drop some of her more casual looks, like her sporting gear or even shorts that she tends to wear on some of her visits?"Judi went on: "Kate always looks totally happy and confident joining in all the sporting action as part of her royal roles."Earlier this year she became patron of the Rugby

Karren Brady slams Kate Middleton critic after the royal took own snaps of her children
Karren Brady has slammed critics of Kate Middleton who took issue with her for taking her own pictures of her children, rather than using a royal photographer.The Apprentice star, 53, branded the remarks as "rather churlish" following the release of Kate's sweet pictures earlier this year.The businesswoman made her remarks following comments made by a royal photographer who argued Kate was taking away an opportunity from aspiring photographers and giving them a chance to elevate their career.Speaking about Kate's children, Karren penned: "They seem all the happier for being photographed by their mother in natural shots, rather than staged snaps taken by a stranger."So for anyone to have issue with the fact that the Princess of Wales delights in sharing her sweet photos with the world is rather churlish, to say the least, don’t you think?"According to royal photographer John Swannell, Kate is dashing the hopes of a generation of photographers by taking her own pictures of the royal children, rather than letting someone else “make their name” doing it," she wrote in her column for The Sun.She went on to add that Kate would have been "damned if she did and damned if she didn't" .It comes as the royal photographer said that by taking her own pictures, Kate is denying others the opportunity to make their name in their photography career.John said: "All the work I got with the royals really elevated my career; nowadays, someone like me just won't have the chance."Those chances should be given to young English photographers."However, he did admit that Kate was at an advantage as she knows the subjects of her snaps."In some ways, though, Kate is probably right to do it herself."She's not a great photographer, but she just snaps
