Queen Elizabeth II's private reaction to Prince Charles and Camilla's marriage was one of support and approval. Although she did not attend the civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall, she attended the subsequent blessing at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, and hosted a reception for the couple at Windsor Castle. Her presence at the blessing and the reception was seen as a significant gesture of her approval and blessing of the marriage. According to Grant Harrold, a former royal butler who worked for King Charles, the Queen's attendance at the reception was a "joyful one" and her speech was seen as an "olive branch" to the newlyweds, indicating her support for their union. Harrold also recalled that the Queen was "very funny" during the reception, giving a speech that compared their relationship to a Grand National horse race, showcasing her sense of humor and warmth towards the couple. The Queen's actions and words demonstrated her acceptance of Charles and Camilla's marriage, despite initial controversy and public scrutiny. Her decision to grant her blessing and support to the couple reflected her role as the head of the Church of England and her duty to uphold the institution, while also showing her personal affection and approval for her son's happiness.

Queen Elizabeth II's speech at the COP26 Evening Reception was a message of hope and encouragement to the attendees. She began by thanking Prime Minister Holness for his introduction and welcomed everyone to the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. She noted that it was fitting that the conference was held in Glasgow, a city that had once been a heartland of the industrial revolution but now was a place to address climate change. The Queen highlighted the importance of addressing climate change, referencing her late husband Prince Philip's words in 1969 that the situation would become increasingly intolerable if not addressed. She emphasized the need for nations to work together to create a safer and more stable future for their people and the planet. She also drew inspiration from the enthusiasm of people of all ages, especially the young, in addressing climate change. She acknowledged the challenges ahead but expressed hope that the conference would be a rare occasion where nations could rise above politics and achieve true statesmanship. The Queen concluded by wishing the attendees every good fortune in their significant endeavour to address climate change and ensure a better future for generations to come.

The marriage of Prince Rudolf and Princess Tılsım was described by another guest, Patricia della Giovampaola:
The wedding was fabulous. Not a detail was left unattended. A refined and exquisite menu. 
The bride and groom, lovely, young and deeply in love. The ceremony was touching, with a choir and an excellent soprano. The ladies were so elegant, all of them wearing hats (as it should be) and mainly nude shoes. However, I've seen an explosion of colors in their dresses: neon green, orange, fuchsia, pinks. 
It's Spring, so flowers seem proper in hats. 
After the ceremony, we run back to our hotel to change for the great Gala Dinner at the Ciragan Sirayi...
