Queen Camilla delivers strong message on ending brutal conflict
Her Majesty stresses need for resolve and peace in powerful remarks
Queen Camilla offered a powerful message during an honorary event for the British army.
On Thursday, November 27, the 78-year-old Queen attended a celebratory event honoruing The Rifles infantry regiment at London's Guildhall, per GB News.
Ahead of the awards ceremony, Camilla gave a heartfelt speech in which she offered a solution to help end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
"During these moments of commemoration, I was fortunate to speak privately with so many of our surviving veterans who voiced a clear and unanimous plea," she said.
The Queen continued, "The path to peace must be pursued with the same vigour and determination that our Forces prepare for combat."
"It is only fitting, then, to rewind the clock 170 years, when The Rifles’ antecedents stood alongside our European allies in modern-day Ukraine,” she noted.
"Let us hope, as our antecedents did then, that our resolve to stand up to tyranny in this same region can again find a resolution to another devastating and brutal war," added Camilla, who has been the Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles since 2020.
It is worth noting that Queen Camilla was also accompanied by Duchess Sophie and The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester at the event.
