King Charles: My ‘Darling Mama’ Would Be Troubled by the Modern World
The King renewed his pledge of duty and service as royal events and a memorial begin to honor the late Queen’s life.
Today, Apr 21, 2026, King Charles III marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth with a video tribute, celebrating her 'life well-lived' rather than focusing on her absence.
In his video message, King Charles acknowledged that while Queen Elizabeth was 'wholly devoted to the people she served,' much of life today would likely have 'troubled her deeply.'
The royal family will visit the British Museum to view designs for the Queen Elizabeth Memorial and host a Buckingham Palace reception featuring Britons aged 100 who share her birth date.
King Charles III renewed his 'own solemn pledge of duty and service to you all,' urging citizens to strive together toward a 'better, happier tomorrow' rooted in peace and justice.
Next week, the King and Queen will travel for a state visit with President Donald Trump, who is known to have respected the late Queen and valued her opinion.
