'My papa would have enjoyed the show and joined us wholeheartedly in celebrating all you continue to do for your country and your people.' PrinceCharles PlatinumJubilee QueenElizabeth JubileeCelebrations
The Prince of Wales accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, speaks on stage during the Platinum Party at the Palace staged in front of Buckingham Palace, London, on Saturday, 4 June, 2022. Sunday will mark the final day of the celebrations.Prince Charles paid an emotional personal tribute to his mother, Queen Elizabeth, on Saturday during celebrations to mark her Platinum Jubilee, praising the monarch for uniting the nation and continuing to make history during her 70-year reign.
"You have met us and talked with us. You laugh and cry with us and, most importantly, you have been there for us, for these 70 years," he added, referring to the queen as "mummy". A palace spokesman said: "The opportunity to invite a famous bear to tea was just too much fun to miss." The four days of celebrations to mark the monarch's seven decades as queen began on Thursday with a military parade and a Royal Air Force flypast, and a National Service of Thanksgiving on Friday.
Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne aged 25 on the death of her father, George VI, in 1952, inheriting dominion over a Britain still emerging from the ravages of World War Two and with Winston Churchill as prime minister. Polls suggest a comfortable majority believe the monarchy should remain. A recent Ipsos survey put support for the Queen at 9 out of 10 respondents. But Prince Charles is less popular and support among the young is waning.
