Queen Elizabeth's Incredibly Moving Speech Amid The Pandemic Has Americans Longing For Real Leadership

On Sunday, Queen Elizabeth II issued a special address in response to the pandemic which has hospitalized individuals around the globe, including Britain's own Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.


Though the address wasn't aimed at a global audience, people in the United States were particularly moved by her speech. It reminded many of the leadership qualities that have failed to come out of the White House in recent years.

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.

Last week, Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the latest Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rising 0.7% in December. Some staples climbed far faster. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she unveiled this month, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.
