Crazy to imagine how 200 years later, a British Monarch would be addressing in the congress that the founding fathers fought so hard to achieve.

[@dkaik]

I think they’d be happy to see it. From their perspective, they wanted to meet Britain in the middle and negotiate. But hands were forced. But there was still even then an affinity for Britain, juxtaposed with wanting to be independent. I think how our countries bonded would make them happy in the end.

[@Intrepid_Crusader1096]

@@dkaik Even many of the founders were more than eager to rekindle relations with Britain. Especially John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. Those two laid down the foundation for the special relationship that exists today between the US and the UK.

[@dkaik]

@@Intrepid_Crusader1096 Exactly. There were Loyalists not out of some hatred of independence but because of a deep connection with Britain.

[@dkaik]

@@Intrepid_Crusader1096 Yep. I tried to phrase it in not hard black and white. How we viewed our relationship with Britain then was for sure also a part of very beginning on the formation of partisan politics in our country, with those lines being drawn then. It’s fascinating to study

“I cannot lead you into battle, I do not give you laws or administer justice, but I can do something else. I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.” Queen Elizabeth II, in her own words: Her most memorable remarks.

[@richietaylor9870]

@@petonchiospataponchio366 No she didn’t. She made these remarks during her annual Christmas Day broadcast in 1957, from Sandringham Norfolk. The part where she says “these old islands” is probably a useful clue that’s she isn’t in South Africa. It was Margaret Thatcher that tried to cosy up to the white government in South Africa, and Elizabeth II who stretched the boundaries of impartiality, more than she did at any other time, to pressure Thatcher into not going against the rest of the Commonwealth and their condemnation of the apartheid government.

[@RogersRamblings]

President Macron of France summed the Queen up nicely in paying tribute. “To you, she was your Queen. To us, she was The Queen. She will be with all of us forever."

[@kraleigh5467]

For those commenting on the raucous applause -- I think the historical context for it has been forgotten. The Queen started the speech with an ad lib joke, delivered with perfect dead-pan dry British comedic timing, which caught everyone off guard. A day or two earlier she was welcomed to Washington with a ceremony on the White House lawn. She wore a tailored purple suit topped with a matching wide brimmed hat, trimmed in white. President Bush (the first), much taller then she was, spoke at the podium first. He was supposed to press a pedal with his foot when he finished, to adjust the podium electrically to her height. He forgot. So she read her remarks with only the big purple hat visible. The press and late night comedians had a field day with this. Front page news. Dubbed "The Talking Hat" 😁. So here she took the opportunity to make light of all the hullabaloo in a very dignified, droll, and self-deprecating manner. No one expected this -- look at the faces of the audience smiling and laughing! The American and British press went even wilder over this than the hat incident itself!

@@TheoneandonlyMiscavage hi! I’m not entirely sure if you’ve kept up on modern events since the revolutionary war but since then the brittish have been our Allie’s in not one but two world wars and without them we may not have stayed a country. Also, the queen was bff’s with Ronald Reagan who was one of the most conservative presidents we have ever had. The monarchy has become a friend and a copycat of how we run things here in the US. They no longer hold a ton of power, that sits with their democratically chosen parliament members and prime ministers. I’m so sorry if I’m bursting your bubble by informing you that we haven’t been at war with the Brit’s for a couple hundred years, but unfortunately, it’s true.

[@carolinian2009]

WOW!! Great respect for the USA in welcoming our Queen. Today it's 4 weeks since Her Majesty left us and watching this today is both sad and heartwarming. Thank you. ✨️👏👏👏

[@deongarth333]

It amazes me how serious The Queen is from all the services she has done across the globe by bringing all the Commonwealth Countries together yet has such adorable humor by saying "I do hope you can see me today from where you are." @ 3:06 as she has such heavenly words for us humans to even see this video of her speech 4 decades later! ^.^ I've been very interested yet inspired to study about her as an American and brings me joy to see how no matter where you're from, you don't feel less distant to come together as people to know how much she has touched all of us that feel touched by her! :-)

[@mkoury83]

HMTQ always found speaking in public an ordeal, but it was those little flashes of her personality, in this instance her wicked sense of humor, and adding a splash of color into the formula to give us, that glimpse into what she is like when she's not Queening. I have looked up to her and regard her as the rod by which the best of mankind is measured. After my own Mom passed in February 2022, I wrote to the Queen and was in disbelief when I received her response on Windsor Castle letterhead hand dated the 21st of April 2022, her 96th and ultimately final birthday. I think for this reason and my profound admiration for HM that I will always feel deeply connected to her.

The respect everyone had for her is amazing we were at war with the UK not long ago only 216 years ago now 31 years ago we have a royal monarch addressing congress imagine being 65 and living for 31 more years it’s amazing they even cut off her speech to give her a standing ovation lol and not only that the fact she lived for 96 of thoes years and rained for 70 of them is incredible we will probably never see anything like this again potentially in history definitely not in our lifetime

The Queen is a strong supporter for peace between nations and countries especially with the European allies. Parliament, House of Commons and Lords are to assure that happens. Speaking in House of Congress wants to honor our agreements and not support aggressive manners, defense is necessary. The Queen spoke very elegantly encouraging peace and love betwixt UK 🇬🇧 and America 🇺🇸. Beautiful way of keep praying 🧎🏽‍♀️ for our children and families sustaining peaceful COUNTRIES in East, West, North and the South. Well done 👍. 🙏🏽📖😇

That was a beautiful speech. And yes The queen is right. "Some people believe that power grows from the barrel of a gun and while it can history shows that it has gone wrong" what a rational reflection and a revealing true I understand now and am as much proud that she was not blood thirsty as past history monarchs.
