During her speech, the Queen referenced her first radio broadcast from 1940, when she (then 14) comforted children being separated from their families due to bombings by Germany during WWII.

"Once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do."


She also told listeners to take comfort in the thought that the quarantine will be over someday soon.

"We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. We will be with our friends again, we will be with our families again, we will meet again."


People all over the world were inspired by the Queen's touching sentiments.


It's hard to ignore that President Donald Trump has never given such a heartfelt or sincere address.



The Queen has a long history of bringing a sense of stability to her subjects.



The Queen ended her speech by giving all who were watching a glimpse of the bright future.



Though most Americans never get the chance, there's never been a better time to say: God save the Queen!

The documentary Elizabeth at 90 is available here.

The saying, 'Can't see the forest for the trees' refers to a common inability to realize things about a situation a person is in while that person is in the thick of it. It's only after being removed from the situation does the person have the ability to realize where exactly they were and what was happening.

It's a similar idea to the saying 'hindsight is 20/20' which means reflection on past circumstances usually often more clarity than in the moment.
