Queen Camilla has just thrown caution to the wind and broken one rule that the late Queen Elizabeth upheld in the past
Queen Camilla has just taken to the world stage with her very first politically charged statement that seemingly goes against what the British Royal Family has been observing for decades, among its Queens and Queen Consorts.
While it is pertinent to mention that being heir, Prince William has spoken out about the war near the Mediterranean Sea, this is one of the rare moments where a Queen Consort has spoken out. Her statement went public during a reception at the Guildhall.
In her capacity there as the Colonel-in-Chief of the Rifles, she not only spoke out but paid tribute to the role the regiment in the Crimean War in the 1850s, between the Russian Empire and an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, the Second French Empire, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
According to Express UK, her speech reads, “only recently we marked the 80th anniversaries of both victory in Europe and victory over Japan. During these moments of commemoration, I was fortunate to speak privately with so many of our surviving veterans who voiced a clear and unanimous plea, the path to peace must be pursued with the same vigour and determination that our Forces prepare for combat.”
“It is only fitting, then, to rewind the clock 170 years, when The Rifles' antecedents stood alongside our European allies in modern-day Ukraine.”
So “let us hope, as our antecedents did then, that our resolve to stand up to tyranny in this same region can again find a resolution to anther devastating and brutal war.”
