The Princess Royal has visited a Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) factory to hear about its plans to switch to building only electric vehicles – despite Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s push back on the ban on new petrol and diesel cars.

Anne travelled to the firm’s Halewood production plant in Liverpool on Thursday to mark the 60th anniversary of manufacturing at the site.

It comes after her brother, the King, branded global warming “our most existential challenge” and called for a new entente cordiale designed to tackle the climate emergency during his state visit to France.



On Wednesday, Mr Sunak said the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars will be delayed from 2030 to 2035.
