On 21 April, Britain marked what would have been the 100th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, the nation's longest-reigning monarch. To commemorate the centenary, King Charles released a personal video message from Balmoral Castle, reflecting on his late mother's life of public service.
The King's tribute was both intimate and solemn, acknowledging the Queen's steadfast devotion across seven decades on the throne and admitting that today's world would have 'deeply troubled' her. His words underscored the continuing resonance of her reign and the challenges facing the monarchy in a rapidly changing global climate.
