This woman earned respect throughout the world not merely because she was a queen, but because she greatly recognized the serious problems of the changing world, the horrible costs of war, and the wisdom to spearhead a future of peace while working to correct the horrible history which preceded her reign. World leaders sought her sage advice and guidance while she never took a political side whatsoever.

      It was Margaret Thatcher that tried to cosy up to the white government in South Africa, and Elizabeth II who stretched the boundaries of impartiality, more than she did at any other time, to pressure Thatcher into not going against the rest of the Commonwealth and their condemnation of the apartheid government.

    For those commenting on the raucous applause -- I think the historical context for it has been forgotten. The Queen started the speech with an ad lib joke, delivered with perfect dead-pan dry British comedic timing, which caught everyone off guard.
    A day or two earlier she was welcomed to Washington with a ceremony on the White House lawn. She wore a tailored purple suit topped with a matching wide brimmed hat, trimmed in white. President Bush (the first), much taller then she was, spoke at the podium first. He was supposed to press a pedal with his foot when he finished, to adjust the podium electrically to her height. He forgot. So she read her remarks with only the big purple hat visible. The press and late night comedians had a field day with this. Front page news. Dubbed "The Talking Hat" 😁.
    So here she took the opportunity to make light of all the hullabaloo in a very dignified, droll, and self-deprecating manner. No one expected this -- look at the faces of the audience smiling and laughing! The American and British press went even wilder over this than the hat incident itself!

Also, the queen was bff’s with Ronald Reagan who was one of the most conservative presidents we have ever had. The monarchy has become a friend and a copycat of how we run things here in the US. They no longer hold a ton of power, that sits with their democratically chosen parliament members and prime ministers.

    The day she turned 21, she gave a speech to the people of the United Kingdom saying that no matter how short or long her life would be, she would serve her country or her family. The day her father died, she became Queen of the United Kingdom. Until the last time, she was 95 years old, opening a parliamentary session and her final mission was appointing the Prime Minister at Balmerol Castle. She deserves to be honored, praised, and respected by everyone around the world.

I have looked up to her and regard her as the rod by which the best of mankind is measured. After my own Mom passed in February 2022, I wrote to the Queen and was in disbelief when I received her response on Windsor Castle letterhead hand dated the 21st of April 2022, her 96th and ultimately final birthday. I think for this reason and my profound admiration for HM that I will always feel deeply connected to her.

    The respect everyone had for her is amazing we were at war with the UK not long ago only 216 years ago now 31 years ago we have a royal monarch addressing congress imagine being 65 and living for 31 more years it’s amazing they even cut off her speech to give her a standing ovation lol and not only that the fact she lived for 96 of thoes years and rained for 70 of them is incredible we will probably never see anything like this again potentially in history definitely not in our lifetime

      @Va Sr Correct. But she also showered (rained) everyone with her wisdom.

      How long do you live that you think 216 years is "not long ago'? A week is a long in politics, two centuries an eon.

    That was a beautiful speech. And yes The queen is right. "Some people believe that power grows from the barrel of a gun and while it can history shows that it has gone wrong" what a rational reflection and a revealing true I understand now and am as much proud that she was not blood thirsty as past history monarchs.
