(ANSA) – LONDON, 02 JUN – The life of 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth, and her 70-year record reign in British history, were “a gift to the United Kingdom and to the world”. This was stated by former US President Barack Obama in a message of good wishes for her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, entrusted to a video shot in the US and broadcast today by the BBC.
Obama recalls his meeting as president with the first lady Michelle with the sovereign (at that time still flanked by the inseparable prince consort Philip, who passed away almost a centenary last year) as a memorable moment. But also as the beginning of an almost familiar relationship, recalling once again behind the image of the sovereign the memory of that of her grandmother. (HANDLE).
