She remained calm and continued.
Queen Elizabeth II led the royal family on her own recorded TV special Sunday – just hours before the potentially explosive Oprah interview of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took place in the United States – and praised the engagement with a “selfless dedication to duty.”
The 94-year-old queen did not mention the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in her preventive television special, during which she also announced the unit.
In the special, entitled “A Celebration for Commonwealth Day,” which is Monday, the monarch said about the coronavirus pandemic: “We have a chance to reflect on a time like no other” – while greeting ” agitating examples of courage, commitment, and selfless dedication to duty.
“We have all continued to appreciate the support, breadth of experiences and knowledge it brings to work together,” he said.
“And I hope we maintain that renewed sense of closeness and community.”
Prince Charles, along with other members of the royal family, including his eldest son and heir, Prince William, also conveyed a tribute to the courage shown by people across the Commonwealth in response to the pandemic.
The previously recorded message, which aired 8 hours before the potentially damaging Oprah special on CBS, was immediately followed by the performance of Bob Marley’s classics “One Love” and “Three Little Birds”, with its proper saying “don’t worry about something … because all the little things will be fine.”
Meanwhile, the Sussex remain in their elegant mansion in California and have “unraveled” the monarchy with its disseminator Oprah.
The Palace has said the date of the Commonwealth event’s release was set “weeks ago,” according to Vanity Fair, while Oprah Winfrey revealed in mid-February that she was interviewing Meghan and Harry.
