On the day the Royal Family celebrates Commonwealth Day, the speech by Queen Elizabeth II was also highly anticipated for the background that is keeping everyone in suspense. In fact, the interview that Harry and Meghan Markle have released to the CBS, and the words of the Sovereign were intended just as one response to the Dukes of Sussex.
For the important occasion, everyone gathered (virtually) around the Queen: from Prince Charles, heir to the English throne, and his wife Camilla to Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as Countess Sophia of Wessex. On the other hand, the Prince Philip, still hospitalized after a intervention to the heart which aroused great concern among the subjects.
In his speech, which opens a week full of commitments and appointments, Elizabeth II he wanted to celebrate friendship and it spirit of unity that binds all the peoples of the Commonwealth, even in such a difficult period: “These are times that put us to the test, but they have pushed us to a deeper appreciation of the mutual support and spiritual assistance we have been able to enjoy connecting with each other“.
The health emergency we have been experiencing for a year now has brought to light many problems, towards which the Royal Family has shown great sensitivity. After having dedicated a thought to all those who have worked on the front line in fighting Covid, Queen Elizabeth II appealed to citizens: “I hope we will maintain this renewed sense of closeness and community. Looking ahead, relationships with others across the Commonwealth will remain important as we strive to provide a common future that is sustainable and more secure. ”
Also Kate e William intervened, bringing their experience to support doctors and health professionals who faced the emergency with great courage: “Here in the United Kingdom there has been tremendous public recognition. It is sad that it took this pandemic for the public to truly endorse and support all those working on the front line “- said the Duchess of Cambridge.
In her speech, however, the Queen did not mention Harry e Meghan, although in these hours the attention is all focused on them. In fact, it will soon be broadcast an exclusive interview that the Dukes of Sussex have given Oprah Winfrey, an intimate chat during which the two spouses will tell the whole truth about the Royal Family. This seems to have raised some concern at Buckingham Palace, and the words of the Queen – who has decided not to make any reference to Harry and Meghan – seem like a dig at her nephew.
