Domingo de festa em Buckingham. Neste dia 6 de fevereiro, a Rainha Elizabet 2ª celebra o 70º aniversário de sua coroação. Não, não é mais um episódio de “The Crown”. A comemoração é real. Literalmente. Coroada nesse mesmo dia em junho de 1953, Vó Betinha segue firme e forte desde então, rendendo altas páginas para a História moderna.
Mais cedo, neste sábado (5), a Rainha fez uma recepção em sua residência de Sandringham. A cerimônia, beeem íntima, contou com alguns membros da realeza e poucos súditos A bordo de um vestido azul claro e um colar de pérolas, Betinha cortou um bolo preparado para a ocasião por uma moradora da região. O doce ostentava o emblema do jubileu de platina.
Nas redes sociais oficiais da Família Real é possível relembrar inúmeras fotos da então jovem princesa. Abaixo, algumas disponibilizadas no Twitter.

Upon her Accession, a ceremonial body called the Accession Council met at St James’s Palace. The Council made a formal proclamation of the Accession.
However, a new Monarch comes to the throne at the moment of death, hence the phrase, ‘The King is dead, long live The Queen!’. pic.twitter.com/EqObSo1Rts

In her message, she references the broadcast she made on her 21st birthday in which she pledged her life’s work to the people of the Commonwealth with the words:
