Kate and William, in the name of the queen (big absent on Commonwealth Day)

In Westminster the British royal family gathered to celebrate the Commonwealth Daybut among the pews of the Abbey was the absence of the Queen Elizabeth to get noticed more than anything else. The smiles of Kate Middleton and her husband William, new (beloved) faces of the monarchy, much less the harmony of Carlo and Camillawhose accession to the throne now seems ever closer, especially since Her Majesty made it known that he wanted her “queen consort”.

It was already known for some days that Elizabeth II would give up.
“He asked the Prince of Wales to take his place” they had reported from Buckingham Palace last week. The absence of the sovereign, however, would not be attributable to any particular health condition, simply to court they would have preferred not to let her travel. More important and potentially tiring commitments await you in the coming months, above all the official celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee in June.

The queen, who decided to permanently reside in Windsor, sent a message, renewing what was said in 1947, on the occasion of her first official speech: “In these trying times, I hope you can draw strength and inspiration from what we share as we work together towards a healthy, sustainable and prosperous future for all.”

Strong words and more current than ever, which today as yesterday reaffirm the value that Elizabeth II attributes to her country and her people. Her was a life of service, in full compliance with that promise made when she was only 21 years old.

In days when his health conditions have often been the subject of discussion (and concern) it is inevitable to think that his dedication will also remain his greatest legacy.
