addressed the nation and called on the U.K. to rise to the challenge of the pandemic.
“I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time,” the queen said. “A time of disruption in the life of our country, a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all ... I hope in the years to come, everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any.
"Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones," she said."But now, as then, we know deep down that it is the right thing to do. While we have faced challenges before, this one is different. This time, we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavor."
She concluded:"We will succeed and that success will belong to every one of us. We should take comfort that while we may have still more to endure, better days will return. We will be with our friends again. We will be with our families again. We will meet again."The address was recorded in the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, chosen because the location allowed enough space between the monarch and the camera operator, who wore personal protective equipment.
