As Above So Below
Queen will urge Britons to 'take pride' in their response to the coronavirus crisis and hail their 'quiet, good-humoured resolve' in the face of 'enormous changes' as she addresses the nation after 708 deaths, including a five-year-old, in one day
The Queen will at 8pm on Sunday deliver a rallying cry to the nation in which she expresses hope that the 'quiet, good-humoured resolve' of the British people will help to overcome the coronavirus crisis. In the televised broadcast, recorded in extraordinary circumstances in the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle with a sole cameraman dressed in protective clothing, the 93-year-old monarch will confront the scale of the crisis, which has 'brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.’
She will tell tens of millions of viewers: ‘I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country.’ In only the fifth such address of her 68-year reign, the Queen will also thank NHS staff and other key workers. Prince Philip is understood to have advised on the tone and delivery of the message. The development comes as the nation suffered the worst day yet in the coronavirus crisis with 708 dead. Since the start of the outbreak there have been 41,903 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the UK with a total death toll of 4,313.
