Regina Elisabetta: il regalo più bello per il suo compleanno è pura emozione

La Regina Elisabetta ha compiuto il 21 aprile 94 ruggenti anni. E' stato un compleanno anomalo, diverso dai soliti: in isolamento a Windsor, lontana dalla famiglia.

Ma un dono le avrà davvero regalato il sorriso. Un dono che non costa nulla, ma che davvero non ha prezzo. E' il video pubblicato dagli account social di Buckingham Palace. Creato si sussurra grazie alla collaborazione tra Kate Middleton e il Royal Collection Trust. Nel video la Sovrana è giovanissima e gioca, canta e balla con la madre e la sorellina Margaret. la corona è ancora lontana.

Le immagini sono accompagnate da queste parole: «Capo del Commonwealth, delle Forze Armate. Capo di stato di 16 Paesi e il monarca più longevo della storia inglese. Moglie, madre, nonna e bisnonna. Buon compleanno, Sua Maestà».

E il Principe Filippo? Ha "donato" alla Regina sua moglie i suoi due valletti, visto che gli assistenti personali della Sovrana hanno contratto il virus e sono in isolamento.

Ma anche la Regina ha fatto un dono a tutti noi: le ricette golosissime dei suoi speciali pasticcini di compleanno. Eccole.
