Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Unveiled

Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Unveiled

King Charles III and Queen Camilla marked the occasion by visiting an exhibition dedicated to the late Queen's iconic fashion and lifetime of service.

The memorial statue was inspired by a famous 1955 portrait by Pietro Annigoni and will stand in a newly designated space called Queen Elizabeth II Place.

Charles paid a moving tribute to his 'darling Mama,' noting that her constant and steadfast devotion remains a guiding light for the monarchy.

The unveiling is the first in a series of global events planned to honor Britain's longest-reigning sovereign.
