Queen Elizabeth II has appeared to criticize the global lack of action on climate change in comments caught on microphone.
The 95-year-old monarch was filmed on a phone as she visited Cardiff to open the Welsh parliament on Thursday.
At one point, speaking to her daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and parliament presiding officer Elin Jones, she said, "I've been hearing all about COP ... I still don't know who's coming."
On the recording, parts of which are inaudible, the queen also appears to say it is "irritating" when "they talk, but they don't do."
The queen is due to welcome leaders from around the world to COP26, a United Nations climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, at the end of the month. Several heads of state or government, including China's Xi Jinping, have not said whether they will attend.
A government minister, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, said the queen's comments had not been intended for broadcast.
"I think comments made in private should stay private, but we all share the desire to see progress made and we know there will be hundreds of leaders coming to Glasgow for COP," he told Sky News.
In a constitutional monarchy the queen is meant to be above politics, and she rarely expresses opinions in public.
