In her final Christmas speech, Queen Elizabeth paid tribute to her late husband, Prince Philip, in a speech full of warmth and emotion.
“Christmas can be difficult for those who have lost a loved one. Especially this year, I understand why,” Queen Elizabeth began her Christmas speech on December 25, 2021, filmed in the White Room of Windsor Castle and broadcast by the BBC.
“Of course, life is made up of final separations as well as first meetings,” and as much as I and my family miss him, I know he would have wanted us to enjoy Krakun,” the Queen said.
She appreciated “his sense of duty, his intellectual curiosity and his ability to make fun of any situation.”
“That inquisitive look at the end was just as bright as when I saw it,” she added.

About COVID-19 in 2020
In an April 2020 address broadcast live from Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth acknowledged the toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on the world and urged others to persevere:
“I turn to you in a difficult time. I want to thank everyone in the health care system, those who play an important role in society, who continue their daily work outside the home to help us all. Everything you do is appreciated and every hour of your work brings us closer to getting back to normal.
Thank you to those of you who are staying home and protecting the vulnerable. Together we are fighting this condition, and I want to assure you that if we are united and determined, we will overcome it. I hope that in the years to come you will be proud of the way you acted.
Our pride defines our present and future, not just our past.”
She ended the show with the iconic phrase: “We will meet again.”

An impressive speech in honor of Prince Charles on the occasion of his 70th birthday
“It is a privilege for any mother to be able to toast her son on his 70th birthday. It means you lived long enough to see your child grow up. It’s like – I’ll use an analogy, I’m sure he’ll appreciate – planting a tree and watching it grow,” Regina began her speech, continuing the joke.
“My mother saw me turn 70, of course. And someone heard her say that 70 is the age when the number of candles on the cake finally exceeds the number of breaths to be blown. Over the course of his 70 years, Philip and I have watched Charles become a champion of conservation and the arts, a great philanthropic leader – a dedicated and respected heir to the throne comparable to anyone in history – and an extraordinary father,” she said, according to Elle. ro.
