King Charles marks first anniversary of Queen’s death in touching message
The King has recalled his late mother’s “devoted service” in a poignant tribute to mark the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s II death.
Recorded and written at Balmoral Castle, the late Queen’s favourite residence and where she died on 8 September last year, Charles recalled “with great affection her long life, devoted service and all she meant to so many of us”.
Accompanying the tribute is the King’s favourite photograph of Her Late Majesty, showing her aged 42 in her Garter robes.
Britain’s long-reigning monarch, who served as Queen for 70 years, passed away aged 96 while surrounded by family members at her Scottish home.
In his tribute, the King thanked the nation for the love and support shown towards him and Queen Camilla over the last year and pledged their unfailing service.
