Queen Elizabeth II made a rare broadcast appearance on Sunday, April 5 to address Britons about the growing COVID-19 crisis in the United Kingdom.
In her pre-recorded address from Windsor Castle, where she is self-isolating during the pandemic, the 93-year-old monarch delivered a message of hope to her subjects. “While we have faced challenges before, this one is different.
This time, we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavor using the great advances of science and our instinctive compassion to heal,” the Queen stated. “We will succeed, and that success will belong to every one of us.
We should take comfort that although we have more still to endure, better days will return. We will be with our friends again.
