Angelina Jolie is all praise for Queen Elizabeth

The documentary highlights the environmental project The Queen's Canopy.

Actress Angelina Jolie was recently a part of the ITV special The Queen’s Green Planet, for which she visited Namibia with her six kids to highlight forest conservation in Africa. “For us to come here and say to the children, ‘This is why it’s important to plant a tree,’ that’s the biggest message I can teach my kids, and it’s something that they’ve certainly learned from Her Majesty and her message,” the Oscar winner explains in the show, reports People.com.

Speaking in the new documentary, Jolie said, “You know she’s (The Queen) just this really lovely lady who really cares about people around the world. She really cares about the future, and she wants your grandkids and her grandkids to be able to be running around, enjoying nature and other cultures, and understand the importance of other cultures.”

The documentary highlights the environmental project The Queen’s Canopy, which aims to unite all the countries of the Commonwealth in conservation efforts. As Jolie watches her kids “trying their best to dig a hole,” she says in the film, “I bet they’re fighting over the biggest shovel. It says it all when you see the local tribe, the bushmen come in and their reaction to it. The trees affect the environment, the soil, the shade, the natural resources, the animals, the ecosystem — but also how it affects the local cultures. They are very dependent on every single plant and they use every single plant. And when certain trees, certain species disappear, that affects an entire culture and their way of life and they start to die out too.”
