From The Queen and the Royal Family this International Nurses Day: thank you.

The Queen speaks of “a time of disruption in the life of our country” as she addresses the UK in a rare televised speech. In a message recorded at Windsor Castle, she says it is an “increasingly challenging time” for the nation - bringing grief, financial hardships and “enormous changes”.

The Queen, dressed in a vibrant red dress, met President of Malta George Vella in the Palace’s 1844 room. She also held an audience with Cuban Ambassador Barbara Montalvo Alvarez. The monarch shook hands with her guests, unusually, without gloves. #TheQueen #BuckinghamPalace #RoyalFamily
