King Charles paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II on what would have been her 100th birthday.
King Charles III delivered an emotional video message remembering his “darling Mama,” Queen Elizabeth II, praising her lifelong dedication to public service and national duty.
In the message, recorded at Balmoral Castle, the King suggested the late Queen may have been deeply concerned by the current state of the world. He said many aspects of modern times would likely have “troubled her deeply,” though he did not name specific domestic or global issues.
The statement came as Britain marked the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth on April 21, 1926. She remains Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and served for more than 70 years before her death in 2022.
As part of the tribute, the final design of a new bronze statue of the late Queen is being presented to King Charles and Queen Camilla. The memorial statue, created by sculptor Martin Jennings, shows the Queen in her younger years wearing ceremonial robes of the Order of the Garter.
The monument will stand in St James’s Park and is expected to be completed within two years. The wider memorial project will also include a statue of Prince Philip, a digital archive, and community initiatives.
King Charles said his mother remained constant through decades of change and believed goodness would prevail.
Her legacy of service continues to shape the monarchy and Britain today.
