She’s going for the world record and trying to ensure non of her future family beat her 😂

I agree but that does not stop her appointing Charles as Prince Regent and effectively retiring from duties. My prediction, expect an announcement at the platinum jubilee bank holiday.

Ooh, interesting 😯

Rather than talking about the Jubilee, the news is filled with Camilla - it does seem to have detracted from the Jubilee commemorations.

I never had any doubt Prince Charles would be King; after all no matter what people think of him, the Monarchy is not a popularity contest.

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee statement:

Tomorrow, 6th February, marks the 70th anniversary of my Accession in 1952. It is a day that, even after 70 years, I still remember as much for the death of my father, King George VI, as for the start of my reign.

As we mark this anniversary, it gives me pleasure to renew to you the pledge I gave in 1947 that my life will always be devoted to your service.

As I look ahead with a sense of hope and optimism to the year of my Platinum Jubilee, I am reminded of how much we can be thankful for. These last seven decades have seen extraordinary progress socially, technologically and culturally that have benefitted us all; and I am confident that the future will offer similar opportunities to us and especially to the younger generations in the United Kingdom and throughout the Commonwealth.

I am fortunate to have had the steadfast and loving support of my family. I was blessed that in Prince Philip I had a partner willing to carry out the role of consort and unselfishly make the sacrifices that go with it. It is a role I saw my own mother perform during my father's reign.

This anniversary also affords me a time to reflect on the goodwill shown to me by people of all nationalities, faiths and ages in this country and around the world over these years. I would like to express my thanks to you all for your support. I remain eternally grateful for, and humbled by, the loyalty and affection that you continue to give me. And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.

And so as I look forward to continuing to serve you with all my heart, I hope this Jubilee will bring together families and friends, neighbours and communities - after some difficult times for so many of us - in order to enjoy the celebrations and to reflect on the positive developments in our day-to-day lives that have so happily coincided with my reign.

Your Servant

Elizabeth R.

I guess the 2022 Sovereign was the last sovereign with the Elizabeth II image. 2023 could be Charles for a quick year and then straight to William from 2024 forward .

How different history might have been if Edward VIII hadn’t abdicated in 1936 and stayed on the throne. If he hadn’t had any children we might be celebrating Elizabeth’s Golden Jubilee this year and not the Platinum Jubilee as Edward VIII died in 1972.

That's if the Third Reich hadn't

taken over with a puppet King in place.
