THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR US, MUMMY

Charles’s Jubilee tribute for the nation to Queen who ‘continues to make history’

- Tony Whitfield

PRINCE Charles led tributes to his “mummy”, the Queen, as he thanked her on behalf of the nation for “being there for us” through good times and bad.

At the Platinum Party at the Palace, held in her

honour, he said that the “outpouring of warmth and affection over this whole Jubilee weekend” was the world’s way of thanking her for her reign.

“You have met us and talked with us,” Charles said. “You laugh and cry with us and, most importantly, you have been there for us, for these 70 years.”

The Prince of Wales took to the stage in front of Buckingham Palace and a 22,000-strong audience during a concert featuring stars such as Diana Ross, Sir Rod Stewart and George Ezra.

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William and Kate with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Princess Anne and husband Sir Tim Laurence, and Prince Edward and wife Sophie and their children were among 30 royals in the Royal Box.

Others included Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Peter Phillips and his children, and Zara and Mike Tindall.

But Harry and Meghan, whose daughter Lilibet celebrated her first birthday yesterday, did not attend.
