Queen Elizabeth, Special address
Coronavirus Special Address to the Nation
Pre-recorded "Chaotic Times"...Comfort the people and honor the efforts of the authorities.
The picture was taken by Queen Elizabeth of England during the recording of the Christmas message on December 23 last year.
Queen Elizabeth II (93) of Britain encouraged British people who were anxious about the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Covid-19) and said, "The future will remember us as very strong people."
The queen will announce a special message to the nation on the evening of the 5th (local time) through the BBC.
According to an excerpt released earlier in the day prior to the broadcast of her address to the nation, Queen Elizabeth characterized the present period as "a period of chaos that has caused sadness for some people, economic hardship for many, and a huge change in our lives."
"I hope everyone will be proud of the way we responded to this challenge later," the queen said. "The future will say we were very strong."
She stressed that "self-regulation, and comradeship, which show a pleasant yet quiet determination, still characterize this country."
The queen will give a message of hope to her people in the wake of the Covid-19 incident, while paying tribute to the efforts of NHS staff and medical staff to fight on the front line of the Covid-19.
The queen pre-recorded her special TV address to the nation in the White Drawing Room of Windsor Castle, where she currently stays with her husband Prince Philip.
The cameraman, who filmed the Queen's speech, reportedly wore a mask and other protective gear, and kept her distance from the queen.
It is very unusual for Queen Elizabeth to make such a public statement, in addition to pre-recording and airing Christmas messages every year.
In the past, the queen issued special messages only three times before the funeral of her daughter-in-law Princess Diana in 1997, when the Gulf War began in 2001, and her mother-in-law, died in 2002. Separately, he also delivered a commemorative TV speech in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of his inauguration.
Prince Charles, 71, the eldest son of the queen and the number one heir to the throne, was confirmed to be Covid-19 and recovered from self-price.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is also operating at a self-price level after the Covid-19 infection was confirmed.
Britain's Covid-19 confirmed population is now 47,806, of which 4,934 have died.
