King Charles will reportedly address the nation and give an emotional speech to mark his mother, Queen Elizabeth II’s centenary this month. The King will lead the royals and the rest of the nation during a series of events held around her birthday – April 21 – the date she would have turned 100.
Royals attending the events include the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal. Charles will commemorate his mother’s 70-year reign and highlight her legacy and service, according to the Mirror.
Queen Elizabeth died peacefully at her Balmoral home aged 96 on September 8 2022.
The highlight of events will see the Royal Family gather for a Buckingham Palace reception on the day of Elizabeth’s birthday, with charities and organisations associated with the late Queen invited, including Cancer Research UK, the Jockey Club and the Army Benevolent Fund.
Guests will include some of the UK’s oldest citizens celebrating their 100th birthday on April 21, with the King presenting their centenary cards in person.
Earlier, members of the Royal Family will visit the British Museum to see a scale model of the Queen Elizabeth Memorial with architect Lord Foster, who won the bid to design the national monument, during a reception attended by the Prime Minister.
The memorial will also feature a “family of gardens” through St James’s Park with meandering paths and a new translucent, glass unity bridge.
During the day, Princess Anne will officially open The Queen Elizabeth II Garden in London’s Regent’s Park.
On April 20, the King and Queen will visit the new exhibition showcasing the late monarch’s wardrobe – Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style, at The King’s Gallery.
