The British royal family observed the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth with a series of special events. King Charles III, accompanied by his son Prince William and daughter-in-law Catherine, Princess of Wales, participated in various engagements to celebrate the milestone.
In a heartfelt televised address, King Charles paid homage to his late mother, affectionately calling her his “darling mama.” He reflected on her remarkable 70-year reign, recalling her warmth, sense of humor, and the distinctive “marvellous twinkle of the eye” that endeared her to many.
As part of the commemorations, the King visited the British Museum and endorsed plans for a national memorial dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II in St James’s Park, further cementing her legacy.
Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales, who has recently recovered from cancer, joined Prince William in welcoming guests from diverse communities. The royal couple attended a reception at Buckingham Palace celebrating the centenary, marking their first appearance together at such an event and receiving well-wishers in honor of the occasion.
