this very secret letter from the queen cannot be opened until 2085

A hundred-year suspense. In seventy years of reign, Queen Elizabeth II will have attended many inaugurations. In 2017, her husband, Prince Philip, even declared that he had become “the world’s most experienced plaque inauguration expert” over the years. And among the places where the Queen has marked the history, there is the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney, in Australia. First opened in 1898, the shopping arcades were named in honor of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, great-great-grandmother of Elizabeth II.

It was in 1984 that work was undertaken to restore the premises. And, in 1986, on the occasion of the reopening of the premises, the Sovereign wrote a letter to the “citizens of Sidney”reports the DailyMail. But at present, the people of Sydne still have no idea what the Queen wanted to tell them, and for good reason, this letter is locked in a time capsule. It will be necessary to wait until the year 2085 to read the words of Elizabeth II. A very mysterious legacy that the heirs of the British Crown will be able to learn about sixty-three years from now.

The succession after Elizabeth II

By celebrating her seventy years of reign, Elizabeth II surpassed Queen Victoria who had remained sixty-three years on the British throne. On the other hand, his uncle Edward VIII, who abdicated after proposing to the twice-divorced American Wallis Simpson, is among those who had one of the shortest reigns, remaining king for less than a year. After the Queen’s death, it is naturally her son who is became King Charles III. In the order of succession, it is then Prince William who will ascend to the British throne, then his son, Prince George.
