On the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's accession to the throne, Prince Charles led tributes to his mother, Queen Elizabeth, saying it was an opportunity for the country to unite and her contribution to the nation.
Charles also expressed gratitude to the queen for her remark on Saturday, in which she expressed her hope that the heir to the throne's wife, Camilla, would become Queen Consort when he became king.
"We are deeply conscious of the honor represented by my mother's wish," he said in a statement. My beloved wife has been my steadfast support throughout our efforts to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our areas.
"The year of this Platinum Jubilee brings an opportunity for us all to come together in celebrating the service of The Queen, by whose example we will continue to follow in the years to come."
