Sunday, June 5, the British did not come back. Gathered in front of the Buckingham gates, the crowd could see, for the very last day of the jubilee, Elizabeth II on the balcony, surrounded by Prince Charles, his grandson William and Prince George, third in line to the throne. An unpublished image to which fans of the Crown should not be entitled. As agreed at the start, Elizabeth II, 96, tested by her fragile health and by the many past festivities, had to rest.

And she couldn’t control her emotion when she saw all the love the British had for her. Stayed a few minutes, “she was impressed by the number of people present, so much so that tears came to her eyes.” The best of the gifts she could receive for her 70 years of reign.
There is no doubt that after such a surge of love, Queen Elizabeth II warmly thanked her son, Prince Charles. The British can also be grateful, those who would not have seen their queen again without the call from the prince. He, who was long frowned upon by the British people after the death of Diana and his marriage to Camilla, has surely won points
